Thanks to all of those who made it out to our reading at The Green Arcade. Our students Annie and Indiana had a great time reading with special guests Amanda Davidson and Kevin Thomson from the literary journal Instant City. Here are a few photos from the evening, taken by Ian Wang.
Our newest book, “City of Stairways: A Poet’s Field Guide to San Francisco” was recently reviewed by LJ Moore at the San Francisco Examiner. She writes, “‘City of Stairways’ is your treasure map to a San Francisco seen though the eyes of young visionaries who are willing to give you a rare glimpse into what most passers-through pass right by.”
One of our students, Annie Yu, recently wrote a great little piece about being a resident of San Francisco on I Live Here: SF. She writes about some of her favorite places in San Francisco, include the Wave Organ, where she and fellow WritersCorps apprentices went on a field trip. Read Annie’s piece here.
Youth Outlook came to our reading for “City of Stairways” back in June. Here’s an interview they conducted with WritersCorps teaching artist Milta Ortiz (also the editor of the book), and several of our students: Robin, Geoffrey and Nicole.

A San Francisco Chronicle reporter, Trey Bundy, came to our reading for “City of Stairways: A Poet’s Field Guide to San Francisco” last week at Get Lost Books and interviewed us about the book, the writing process, and our favorite places in San Francisco. Now we’re in the paper! Meet our students Robin, Annie, Indiana, and Nicole — and their teacher Milta Ortiz. Read the story here.
