Event Description

Bay Area Generations, a  literary reading series, features paired readers of differing generations. Since 2013, over 300 hundred notable poets, writers, playwrights and musicians have performed their poetry, stories, and music. Such legends as Julia Vinograd reading with Cassandra Dallett, Joseph Lease with Annelyse Gelman, Norma Cole featuring with Candy Shue, and JK Fowler with MK Chavez have made appearances. The Fourth Monday shows are also blessed  by solos from such accomplished composers and performers as George Brooks, Sara Klotz de Aguilar, Chris Peck, Matthew Goodheart, and some who accompany readers as does Gael Alcock.​
