New Release Reading for Those Grand Page Poets! With Caldwell, Holwitz and Randolph

The Green Arcade is delighted to again be hosting a new release reading for The Page Poets of FMSBW Press which publishes important Northern California poets whose work excites them. The Page Poets Series was conceived by friends on a bright day in a dark corner of The Page bar on Divisadero Street in San Francisco.

Lauren Caldwell was born in San Francisco, California and attends Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Other Scavengers is her first poetry collection, conceived as a love letter to her hometown and to the other small, strange corners of the world that have raised her. She is a student and recorder of mysteries.

Jesse Holwitz was born and raised in San Francisco. The title of this book Cueonia comes from a light conversation with a friend, regarding free association and the way behavioral psychology dictates “cues” that people come to rely upon for their well-being. Health apps and social media are examples. Their first collection of poems Cutting Teeth was published in 2022, also by fmsbw press.

Cynthia Randolph is an artist and writer who works across photography, video, poetry, and creative nonfiction. She has received a Vermont Studio Center Artist Grant, George B. Hill and Therese Muller Creative Writing Awards, and has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad. Her writing has been published in Canvas, Omniverse, Written Here (and There), The Community of Writers Poetry Review 2020, and Odes to Our Undoing: Poets Processing Crisis, An Anthology (Risk Press, 2022). She lives in San Francisco with her husband and son.
