The San Francisco Public Library presents
:
POETRY IN BLACK & WHITE -
Two Colors, Two Voices
In honor of Black History Month international poet Ana Elsner and former San Francisco Poet Laureate Devorah Major come together in a performance of poetry presented as a dialogue between a European-American and an African-American voice.
At this special event Devorah Major and Ana Elsner join forces in the staging of a unique poetry duet. The two poets take turns bringing their poems to life in this juxtaposition of two distinctive personalities. Poet and writer Ana Elsner is a repeat-feature at the San Francisco Public Library. She designs and produces programs that appeal to a wide audience in an ongoing effort to raise the popularity of poetry. Devorah Major is a poet, novelist, essayist and performance artist, who served as San Francisco's third Poet Laureate from 2002-2006.

I first found this event on the poets.org calendar and then on this site. I attended last night's reading and was impressed: the featured poets, Ana Elsner and Devorah Major, were well matched, each woman with a unique poetic style and presentation. Ana Elsner's work was perhaps the more forceful of the two.
