​HAIGHT-ASHBURY LITERARY JOURNAL

*Haight-Ashbury Literary Journal    -    Itani Ramen

44 Years of Vital Verse: The Haight Ashbury Literary Journal turns 44. The Journal was born in 1979, but its roots go back further to the 1960s and the Summer of Love. Like the Bay itself, the Journal endures as a bedrock source of Bay Area poetry, both political and lyrical, both deep and diverse.

Bios of Haight Ashbury Literary Journal features:

Nicole Henares currently writes as Aurelia Lorca-  a poet motionless in the twist of time whose writing reassembles narratives from histories which have been forgotten as a way to remember.

Colleen Shoshana McKee is the author of six books including Routine Bloodwork, her
most recent poetry collection, which was a finalist for the Charlotte Mew Award from
Headmistress Press. ColleenShoshanaMcKee.com
