The Itinerant Poetry Librarian World Tour Comes to Red Hill Books April 19, 2008

The Itinerant Poetry Librarian comes to
Red Hill Books

Continuously, since May 2006,
The Itinerant Poetry Librarian has been travelling the world with a library of Lost and Forgotten poetry, installing the library & librarian and recording the sounds, poems and poetry of the cities, peoples and countries she meets.
Our Itinerant Poetry Librarian lives wherever her library is - come join the cause!

Where has she been ? Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, London, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Norwich, York, Antwerp, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver . . . and now Bernal Heights!
Sara Wingate Gray is a poet/performance artist who upon realizing that neither of her arts were big, popular, pay-the-rent professions, she decided to go on a world tour with her library in a suitcase and loan out books of poetry to anyone interested.
The Itinerant Poetry Librarian will be loaning books at Red Hill every Monday from 3:00 to 7:00pm.
Saturday, April 19th at 6:30 she will discuss her work.

Red Hill Books at 401 Cortland Avenue
415-648-5331
