Michael C. Ford is one of the most well known poets in southern California, whose first public reading of his work occurred at a fundraiser for Norman Mailer's failed campaign for New York City Mayor (1969), where he read with well known poets Jack Hirschman and Michael McClure as well as Jim Morrison the lead singer of The Doors, one of the seminal rock groups of the 1960s. Tom Waits has said of Ford, "He's a treasure chest of American pop culture." Film director John Cassavetes has said: "Michael C. Ford takes the time to let his words arrive, always magically, like right now."
This event is free and open to the public.
