The Magnolia Tree Gazing presents poets from the Celebration of Queer Poetics Anthology Project, a poetry anthology and workshop series reflecting the diverse queer voices forming Bay Area Literary Landscape. This artisan made book grew from a six-week generative poetry workshop crafted by Lourdes Figueroa in the Mission District, focusing on bipocx queer poetics offering a tender space to explore and create poetry. The printed anthology is a collaboration between Lourdes Figueroa, The Celebration of Queer Poetics Workshop, and Murciélago Prensa, Cinthia Marisol Lozano Garcia Amaya.

Join us for an afternoon of love and ternura to celebrate the first volume of this anthology and hear the work created by workshop poets. Co-presented by Paseo Artistico and the San Francisco Flor Y Canto International Literary Festival.
