Poetry World Series 2025: Mill Valley Edition

Emceed by the incomparable Daniel Handler! Two teams of poets from the Bay Area and beyond, including Armen Davoudian, Luiza Flynn-Goodlett, Christian Gullette, Michal “MJ” Jones, Mia Ayumi Malhotra, and Yaccaira Salvatierra take turns batting at poem topics pitched to them by the audience.

Fastballs, curveballs, knuckleballs: these poets won't know what's coming next! Lots of laughs guaranteed. Umpires Randall Mann and Julia Levine will score each batter's reading, and the winning team takes the series title. Book sale and signing will follow the reading.

This is a free event; registration recommended if you'd like to join us at 6:30 for wine, beer, and popcorn! Program starts at 7PM.

As poet Marianne Moore wrote, “Writing is exciting / and baseball is like writing. / You can never tell with either / how it will go.
