Hosted by Norman Fischer, the San Francisco Zen Center invites you to an evocative evening, interweaving poetry and nature's embrace. Leaning Toward Light is not just a poetry anthology; it's a testament to the deep, unspoken bond we share with the natural world. This collection melds together the talents of luminous poets, each with a unique voice and perspective, offering solace and illumination, much like the nurturing act of gardening. With readings by Jane Hirshfield, Naomi Shahib Nye, Tess Taylor, Brynn Saito, Mark Doty, Genine Lentine.
