Hidden in Plain Sight: The San Francisco Poet's Street-Corner Oasis
From Samuel Robinson | 09:06
'Hidden in Plain Sight: The San Francisco Poet's Street-Corner Oasis’ (2017) documents the underground (yet overground) poetry happening ’The Corner’ that has organically flourished in San Francisco’s Mission District over the past 20 years. Alongside excerpts from performances, contributors discuss the challenges of living in San Francisco during a period market by significant social, cultural, and economic changes.
On a street-corner, amidst the pigeons, San Francisco’s invisible stars shine. Around 10pm every Thursday, at the nondescript intersection of 16th & Mission in San Francisco, regulars, newcomers, and intrigued passers-by gather around an intricate chalk circle drawn on a concrete plaza; a long-running freeform street happening welcoming poets, musicians, comedians, and all forms of creative expression is about to start.
