San Francisco, often seen as a literary haven, could soon become home to the first all-poetry lending library on the West Coast — one with a decidedly modern twist.
The proposed International Poetry Library of San Francisco is the brainchild of Kim Mahler, modeled on New York’s Poets House and London’s Poetry Library. Along with a brick-and-mortar poetry center in The City, Mahler plans to launch a subscriber service similar to Netflix that would lend poetry volumes to writers and scholars nationwide.
