In spring 2021, ARC piloted a new Flash Reading Series featuring two dozen Bay Area poets. reading one of their poems in relation to the theme “emerge/ncy”. In addition to ARC’s larger monthly readings, this series extended the number of voices we wanted to hear from, and carry with us, in these changing times – from emerging to established poets. Ongoing, we will add new Bay Area poets each April during National Poetry Month.
Over time, the series has turned into a growing online archive of Bay Area poets. These 52 short recorded readings are carried on our website, on ARC’s YouTube channel, and shared on social media
