The host and the audience, which was comprised of many long standing bay area poets, was very welcoming. Marc Kockinos, a former San Diego poet now in SF, told me about [...]
“Om Shan Tea! What an unexpected treat. I went with the idea that I would be one of several readers and it turned out that I got to feature. The place was full of tea drinkers but not many poets which worked out great for me. I never understood the attraction of the tea service [...]
