Write Now! SF Bay builds multicultural community by reflecting the complex diversities among the Black, Brown, Indigenous and People of Color that comprise 60% of the Bay Area's population.
Join the vibrant, socially engaged multicultural arts community of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
Since 2015, we have supported over 400 emerging and established BIPOC writers and artists. Their prose, poetry and artwork reflects the lived realities of people from all walks of life—educators, healers, activists, immigrants, LGBTQ, the formerly unhoused, and just plain folks with roots in Native America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and beyond.
"Breathtakingly fierce and honest poetry that smashes Asian American stereotypes and reveals complexities of love across race, class, age and religion. Provokes fist-pumping, sighing, cheering, and laughing throughout." —Susan Kiyo Ito, I Would Meet You Anywhere.
“Confronts the hydra of stereotype with necessary abruptness—particularly poignant given our current social divisions.”
—Kim Shuck, 7th Poet Laureate of San Francisco.
Wry and tender field notes on love across difference. A fiercely hilarious chronicle of budding romance between a fortyish Asian American woman and a twenty-something white man bridging divisions of race, class, religion and generation.
