Please join us for a virtual poetry reading with San Francisco–based poet and Missouri native Colleen Shoshana McKee. Colleen is the author of seven collections of poetry, memoir, and fiction. Her newest book, Feeding Ghosts, was published in March 2026 and is available for purchase here. Born in rural Missouri, Colleen grew up speaking Yiddish with elderly Russian immigrants in the woods. She later lived in St. Louis for 22 years before moving to San Francisco, where she now teaches English to immigrants and creative writing students--who are sometimes the same people.

The evening will also feature readings from Allison Creighton, Andrea Jackson, Scott Berzon, and MaTovu’s own Clare Kinberg. Join us to celebrate Colleen’s new book and enjoy an evening of powerful poetry!

The Zoom link will be shared after registration.
