During World War II, heroic San Diego librarian Clara Breed exchanged hundreds of letters with young Japanese Americans in concentration camps, serving as a reminder of the possibility for decency and justice in a troubled world. Join 14 of San Diego's best poets including the City's inaugural Poet Laureate, Ron Salisbury, for an afternoon of restorative poetry. Poets will read and perform poems written specifically for this current historical moment of deep national reflection and a deadly pandemic which has locked down our lives and created isolation and fear.
