SUMMARY:Beast Generation Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Beast Generation culture exploded in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 2000s. By 2012\, we\, Beast Generation writers\, lived a never-ending literary feast. We gathered in the Mission\, at the street corners (16th and Mission)\, in a former voodoo and black magic temple Viracocha\, Octopus Literary Salon in Oakland\, in the bars like Amnesia and Make Out Room or Nick’s Lounge in Berkeley. They read poetry and prose\, played music and acted at festivals and happenings like Bay Area Generations\, Bay Area Trans Writers Workshop\, Saturday Night Special\, Quiet Lightning\, Get Lit\, Tourette’s Without Regrets\, Poetry Flash\, Donde Esta Mi Gente\, Perfectly Queer\, The Naked Bulb\, Skinless\, Swill\, Word Performances\, Literary Speakeasy\, LitCrawl\, Literary Death Match\, and organizations like Nomadic Press\, Poetry Flash\, Small Press Distribution\, Oakland Youth Poet Laureate\, Kundiman\, Kearney St Workshop\, Manic D Press\, Be About It Press\, Milvia Street\, Liminal Space\, Foglifter Journal\, the SF Creative Writing Institute\, the East Bay Review\, Full of Crow\, Pandemonium Press. And with many MANY of these writers taking to the road to read with poets in Seattle\, Portland\, Cleveland\, Kansas City\, Pittsburg\, Albuquerque New York\, Paris\, Mexico City\, Rabat and others. It was a loud and fun family\, with a sense of purpose and belonging. \nThe Beast Crawl was born in 2012 in Oakland CA to establish an annual gathering of this tribe in one region at one time in the East Bay (pig latin for “Beast”) to celebrate the merging of homegrown literary talent with the other kindred Beasts across the world. With this event\, the East Bay emerged as a hotbed of raw\, diverse literary talent with venues such as the Awaken Cafe\, Bench & Bar\, Chapter 510\, the Dept. of Make Believe\, the Creative Growth Center\, Classic Cars West\, Era Art Bar\, Econojam Records\, Feelmore 510\, The Legionairre\, Telegraph Beer Garden\, Farley’s East\, EM Wolfman Books\, The Golden Bull\, Laurel Books\, The Layover Lounge\, The New Parkway\, Oaklandish\, Kingston 11\, Spice Monkey\, The Starline Social Club\, Sweet Bar\, The Octopus Literary Salon\, Radio Bar\, and Woods Brewing Company hosting new up and coming authors. \nBy 2020\, with many of the venues closed or out of business\, festivals and readings canceled by the pandemic\, depression\, fires and smoke\, the Beasts might have lost a platform but not their voice. We will join forces again on October 24\, 2020\, and speak up online. Join us for a whole day marathon on a YouTube channel of one of San Francisco’s oldest indie bookstores\, Globus Books. The city will live up to its tradition: LitCrawl and Bay Area Poetry festival will be bringing more voices to you that very day. Let’s read like it is 2012! \nWith a week before the historic election\, our country\, state and city face a political\, economic and environmental crisis. The arts\, literature and poetry are here to do what they always do: offer humanity. Our land is on fire\, the plague is near and tyrants are at large but our spirits soar and are invincible. Long live Poetry! \nThis event will be live streaming on the Globus Books YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/GlobusBooksSF/videos. It is free for all. The recording of this show will be serialized and featured on the same channel later.
