WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OUR SPONSORS:
Tony Serra's Pier 5 Law Offices,
Caffe' Greco; Rogue Ale House; Bocce (The Old Spaghetti
Factory);
Mojito Cafe; Piazza Market; Aquatic Park Center, The Saloon
and The Arata Fine Art Gallery.
Pens & Plumes" would be modeled after the stars
along Hollywood Blvd. The names of poets and writers from San
Francisco, including Ina Coolbrith, Robert Frost, Jack London
and our
contemporary poets and writers living and dead, would be
inscribed in
the plumes along Columbus Avenue in North Beach. They would be
made of a long lasting material (brass? copper?). We could get
funding
from the Federal Government, State Government and private
sponsors. I have a Directory of American Poets & Writers that,
as a member, of
Poets & Writers, I along with Ferlinghetti, Hirschman, DiPrima,
and
200 + San Franciscans are listed that we could draw from and use
as a beginning. Mayor Newsom and the Board of Supervisors,
including Aaron Peskin have shown an interest in the project. I
personally have been promoting the concept, along with my son
Dylan Thomas Hackett and others. In fact, over the years
numerous San Franciscans have
endorsed the idea. The question now is, how best to move
forward.
You advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Sincerely yours,
Philip Hackett, Poet/Organizer
