Thrilled to announce what promises to be a beautiful evening in San Francisco, as part of the amazing annual LitQuake festival, co-presented by City Lights Publishing

The Infinite Man: A Celebration of Pablo Neruda

It will serve as the launch for Venture of the Infinite Man. Published by City Lights, it's a project I spearheaded, asking my dear friend Jessica Powell to take on the terrifically challenging translation. I wrote the intro. (Check out the goodreads book link for more info.)

We'll share the stage with other friends--Bill O'Daly with Neruda's first book, Book of Twilights, which just came out as well, from Copper Canyon. Last year, Copper Canyon also published Then Come Back: The Lost Neruda Poems It's tan querido translator, Forrest Gander, who contributed some to The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems, will be on stage as well.

And it includes a hosted wine bar!

Please check out the link and please check out the event, as well as all of San Francisco's LitQuake! (the flowers in my hair will no longer stay in place...)
