Genny Lim: San Francisco jazz poet and multi-talented artist, known for his collaborations with Max Roach and his upbringing in North Beach.

Andrew Paul Nelson: North Beach poet, organizer, and curator of the Coit Tower Poetry Series. Look out for his upcoming poetry-themed wine bar, The Golden Sardine.
