About this Event

San Francisco Poet Laureate emerita Kim Shuck and special guests present her latest collection of paired poems and artworks about twelve species from the Pacific Coast of the United States and United States territories.  Shuck's art will be on display, and she will participate in a short Q & A about her work.  NOTE: This program takes place in the Latino Room (Lower Level).

Kim Shuck was San Francisco’s seventh Poet Laureate. Her poetry draws on her multiethnic background which includes Polish and Cherokee heritage, and her experiences as a lifelong resident of San Francisco. Her most recent book of poetry, Pick a Garnet to Sleep In, was published in 2024, and her book of essays, Noodle, Rant, Tangent, was published in 2022. In her term as Poet Laureate, she hosted scores of free poetry and art workshops for all ages at neighborhood libraries and schools and worked closely with San Francisco Public Library and the San Francisco Arts Commission to launch major citywide initiatives to honor Native American Indigenous Peoples' heritage.
