The North Beach Branch of the San Francisco Public Library will host a reading and book signing event for the upcoming collection Father Verses Sons: A Correspondence in Poems by Herbert Gold and Ari Gold with Ethan Gold on Saturday, March 9 from 4-6:30pm. Ari Gold and Ethan Gold will be in attendance and Peter Maravelis will moderate this free event presented by City Lights with Rare Bird Lit, San Francisco Public Library, and Vesuvio Cafe. The reading will be followed by a reception and book signing at Vesuvio Cafe.

“In Father Verses Sons, a lushly illustrated ‘correspondence in poems,’ ranges across the life, family, and death of a remarkable father. The father and his sons write tenderly of their hunger for connection, about the woman that all three men have lost (a mother, a wife), and about the passion that all three seek. Ultimately, these poems tell a singular story of men bumbling their way towards love.”

Father Verses Sons: A Correspondence in Poems is available for pre-order now and will be released on Feb 27, 2024 via Rare Bird Books.
