Ageless TODCO Poets Wax Eloquent | Yerba Buena Gardens

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The 2011 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival presents over 90 free outdoor events from May to October including music, theater, circus, dance, poetry, family festivals and children’s programs with artists from the world over.

Words & Voices: TODCO Poets

Tuesday, September 20 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

Proving that creativity is ageless, the TODCO Poets wax eloquent on Gertrude Stein, romance, friendships, family, politics, and aging. These are elderly poets from the TODCO community-based housing nonprofit in SoMa.

Under the direction of Nancy Deutsch, the Poets bring wit and wisdom to their original works of poetry. Their group poem, Dare We Dream In Concrete is engraved in granite at the entrance to the Yerba Buena Gardens.
