While the COVID-19 pandemic has put BAMPFA’s long-running poetry reading series on hold, we’re presenting online readings from some of our favorite poets. We've invited them to read recent work that speaks to our current moment of isolation.

Ava Koohbor reads “Time Recycled.”

Ava Koohbor is a poet and artist living in San Francisco. The poetry read here is from a hand-made chapbook/artifact (To Kill or to Kiss) she made during the pandemic. Her recent collection of poems, Death Under Construction, has been published by Ugly Duckling Presse.
