San Francisco Poet Laureate Kim Shuck, who belongs to the northern California Cherokee diaspora, curates an intergenerational poetry reading in celebration of the Presidio's El Polin Spring. Participating poets range from established superstars like Jennifer Barrone and Maw Shein Win to emerging underrepresented youth. The reading will offer healing poems, ranging from the ecological restoration of El Polin Spring itself to the physical healing properties of the site, embodied in Barrone's investigations into Juana Briones. Shuck, also a weaver and bead-work artist, will create nature-themed regalia to be worn by the poets, linked to the pieces they present.
