Bay Area poets and artists gather to pay homage to poet, art writer, and teacher Bill Berkson (1939–2016), reading his work, sharing stories and farewells. Born in New York, Berkson became deeply involved with the Greewich Village arts scene in the 60's and began writing poetry under the tutelage of renowned poets like Kenneth Koch and Frank O'Hara. Moving to San Francisco, Berkson wrote poetry and art criticism while teaching at the SF Art Institute. He died this past June.
