Henri Cole reading poems from his new book The Other Love at Green Apple Books on the Park.

Henri Cole at the Little Shamrock where we joined poets Peter Kline, Will Brewer and Brian Tierney for a round of drunks. Wonderful company.

Last night @henricole.bsky.social gave one of the most beautiful readings ever at @booksonthepark.bsky.social and it was an event. Glad I got to be there. Afterwards we went to the Little Shamrock and drank a toast to beloved Seamus Heaney.

So fabulous. Thank you Doug, thank you Henri. We are so lucky.

I was talking today with @henricole.bsky.social about our upcoming event at @booksonthepark.bsky.social and I told him it was warm in San Francisco. I said "Today it feels like maybe 75" and of course later I learned it was 67. But that is high for us.

If we know nothing else, we know that SF weather is unpredictable. Even from block to block. Can't wait to see you both on Wednesday!

Can't wait!

We have some great things coming your way in the next week, starting tonight! RSVP and find details at the following link: greenapplebooks.com/events/calen...
