Drowning Like Li Po in a River of Red Wine

"San Francisco Poems" by A. D. Winans is a wonderful collection of the poems. The advance praise received says everything you need to know about this book: "A. D. Winans is the poet heart of San Francisco. He tells it like it was and is. This splendid collection of his nomadic movements through the city through the decades is like no other. His eye, sense of the observed detail, his empathy for the ruin and resurrection, is unique. The melancholia of the old days contend with sharp updated quick shots of the city on the move.  A rich offering." David Meltzer   "A. D. Winans set his poet's eye on San Francisco, native ground, with all the passion of a true elder in the art of poetry. Here are the sounds and sites of a city of poets, wonderfully knit. A reader will find the deep humors of San Francisco alive and well in the hands of a master." Neeli Cherkovski "As a poet, A. D Winans is one of the best writing in the U.S. today.  His work is powerful, human, humane and deals with primary issues." Hugh Fox

He has great heart and compassion for people and his native city, San Francisco. I like his uncompromising spirit. He pulls no punches. He is the people’s poet." Jack Micheline

San Francisco Poems [2nd Edition]

A.D. Winans talks candidly in his own words about his friendships with such literary luminaries as Alvah Bessie, one of the Hollywood 10, Bob Kaufmaun, the renowned poet of the San Francisco Renaissance, Jack Micheline, poetic raconteur of the greatest magnitude, and Charles Bukowski, the legendary poet and novelist whose legendary shadow still causes much debate to this day. The history and storytelling are richly textured and masterfully woven into one book of magical nuances that come from being there at the time and in the moment.
