Watch the inauguration of San Francisco’s 9th Poet Laureate, Genny Lim! The event features performances by youth poets from Youth Speaks, a youth chorus from Clarion Children's Theater, and past San Francisco poets laureates.
Lim was appointed as the city’s poet laureate in September 2024 by then-Mayor London Breed. As part of her required duties as laureate, Lim will host an inaugural event to celebrate her poetic vision for San Francisco. Lim is the first Chinese American appointed to the city’s three-year poet laureate position. She was born and raised in San Francisco’s Chinatown and North Beach neighborhoods and is a graduate of San Francisco State University and Columbia University. Her writing has been widely awarded and published.
