Reading: Poetry Poetry for Water feat. Dave Eggers, Roger Housden, and Maxine Hong Kingston

  • Dave_eggers_event_full

Roger Housden's most recent book contains a quiet, candid kind of hope. Ten Poems to Change Your Life Again and Again presents poetry as a method of inspiring tangible positivity. With his Poetry for Water series, Housden raises money to provide water for impoverished villages in India and Africa ($8,000 is enough to hydrate a community). The first edition features San Francisco's favorite good guy of letters, Dave Eggers, speaking on "The Writing Life." Noted authors Maxine Hong Kingston, Elizabeth Rosner, and Nina Wise also share a few words.
