Upcoming Events
Divination Poetics: Spells & the Tarot @ LitCrawl SF Saturday October 24, 2026, 6:30pm - 7:30pm PDT Curio Bar SF @ The Chapel (775 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA)
From T.S. Eliot to Sasha LaPointe, poets have long experimented with the tarot as a generative praxis. How can we, amidst current & ongoing crises, incorporate the tarot or spellwork in our writing practices, as a means of healing interspecies relationships, cultural lineages, or even ourselves? Explore ways poets from various backgrounds use divination as a practice to collaborate with issues of apocalypse, gender, the biodiverse, and the lyric as they intersect to construct a poetics.
Featuring Yiska Rosenfeld, Kim Shuck, K. R. Morrison, Sezin Devi Koehler, Melissa Eleftherion, and Georgina Marie Guardado.

Shut Up & Write!® Lake County Meets monthly at rotating locations
What We're About: Shut Up & Write! is a global community that empowers writers to overcome procrastination, silence their inner critic, and make consistent progress on their projects. Our events provide a structured and focused environment where writers can come together, set aside distractions, and achieve their writing goals.
What to Expect: A few minutes of introductions, a period of focused writing, and a final check-in to share our progress. Once you arrive, our host will lead introductions, and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time. Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.
Unique to Lake County: Writers of all ages, levels, and genres are welcome at our events. We rotate locations to support local small businesses and reach more writers in different areas of the county. Please reach out if you wish for us to come to your area, or if you have a venue suggestion! Our meetups are always free, but we encourage you to support the venues that welcome us by making a modest purchase.
Follow us and RSVP for events HERE.
Your hosts are Georgina Marie Guardado, Lake County Poet Laureate 20-24, and Cinamon Vann, nonfiction writer and founder of the Sacramento chapter of Shut Up & Write.
