San Francisco's annual Lit Crawl is the city's preeminent literary event, and for the second year in a row Hyphen has curated a tasty session of poetry and fiction for your listening pleasure. 

Fresh off our hit NYC Lit Crawl reading last month, and celebrating the recent announcement of our new Hyphen Reader, we're excited to get down with our literary selves. Come join us in the Mission District and be titillated by our talented readers, sharing works in the theme of our current issue.

Lit Crawl is the culminating night of Litquake, San Francisco's annual literary festival (Oct. 11th-19th). Something like a crossover between a street festival, a pub crawl, an art walk, and well, a series of literary readings, it's a night to discuss books over beers and poetry with peers. With 79 readings crammed into just 3 short hours, our 6pm reading during "Phase 1" promises to get you buzzing and in the mood for more!
