This Sunday’s worship will feature poems by Native American Duane BigEagle (Osage) that he read at The Fire Thieves, an inter-sectional & inter-generational poetry series produced by San Francisco poet laureate Kim Shuck (Cherokee), sponsored by the American Academy of Poets, Bird & Beckett Books in SF, and the SF Arts Commission. These poems hold his Osage ancestral wisdom with his experiences with Western culture. Worship Associates Lisa Nosal and George Beeler will reflect on what the poems evoke for them in our current time and place.

 Work by Duane BigEagle has appeared in chapbooks, magazines, newspapers a anthologies including The Nation, Chicago Review, Beloit Poetry Review and dozens more. Duane has read his poetry for events at The Oakland Museum, San Jose Poetry Center, Stanford, U of Oklahoma, SF Art Inst., SSU, Cody’s Bookstore, etc. Duane is also a painter.
