The Poetry for the People Podcast is a project of the City College of San Francisco class of the same name, instructed by Tehmina Khan and comprising students of diverse ethnicites, ages, and genders. The Podcast extends the mission of the class, which is connecting the art and craft of poetry with the community and society in which it's created. We aim to share the life experience, influences, and wonderfully varied poetry of the students with listeners across the cybernetic noosphere.
