Medicina Para Pesadillas is keeping the very special Mission tradition of poets reading on the street alive and well with this literary series. Come hang and enjoy poets reading their work to Calle Veinte Cuatro. This month’s featured poets are part of When The Smoke Comes, a creative writing space that explores the inextricable link between our social, economic, and political reality and the human experience we are having or hope to have in the future. This workshop is intended to be a starting place, a jumping-off point for broader anti-imperialist political practice. Simply put, When The Smoke Comes is a creative writing workshop that seeks to not only imagine an end to oppression, but better prepare us to bring it about. Featured poets are Darius Simpson, Kevin Madrigal Galindo, Sarah O’Neal and Aniya Butler.
