SUMMARY:Sirenland Poetry Book Release Party w/ Jennifer Barone & Duo Pizzicato
DESCRIPTION:Sirenland\, by Jennifer Barone\nBook Release Party & Poetry Reading with Live Music by Duo Pizzicato \nFriday June 5th\, 2026 from 6:30pm – 8:00pm\nTelegraph Hill Books\, 1501 Grant Ave\, San Francisco\, CA 94133\nPresented by Feather Press & Telegraph Hill Arts & Literature \nJoin us for the launch of Sirenland – a new poetry collection by Jennifer Barone\, published by Feather Press. The evening will feature a poetry reading by the author with special guests and live music by Duo Pizzicato\, Italian Mandolins – followed by a book signing. Sirenland\, by Jennifer Barone features 24 original\, color illustrations and photographs by the author. \nA reclamation of personal lineage – Sirenland is a mythic conversation across time with the poet’s ancestors from the Bay of Naples\, Italy. Ancestral spirits rise from sea caves and memory – as the poet reimagines her grandparents as sirens\, singing stories long submerged. \nIn this collection\, the sirens transform from feared monsters to radiant guardians of land\, sea\, and the Napoletani people. The ache of ancestral loss and immigration threads through grottos and sea caves of oracular whisper\, as Vesuvio stirs with ancestral fire and the sea becomes a liminal realm of longing\, alchemy\, and rebirth. \nThough the sirens’ voices have been silenced over centuries\, these poems listen deeply\, inviting their songs to be heard by all who are ready to receive them. \nAbout the Author:\nJennifer Barone is an Italian-American poet and artist\, with roots in the Bay of Naples\, Italy. She is the author of four poetry collections\, including Saporoso: Poems of Italian Food & Love\, Feather Press. A two-time winner of the San Francisco Public Library’s Poets Eleven contest for North Beach\, where Jennifer resides. At Telegraph Hill Books and Libreria Pino\, she curates and hosts Italian-English poetry readings\, leads writing workshops\, and hosts the Voices From the Hill podcast\, interviewing SF Bay Area authors. Her work has been published in multiple literary journals\, and featured at SFMOMA\, de Young Museum\, SFJAZZ Center\, and Marin Poetry Center\, among others.
