Every April KALW partners with SFUSD students and America Scores

Throughout April, you can hear young people read poems  they've written, on KALW. The series is produced and edited by Kevin Vance. In 2020 we unfortunately are unable to feature the poet's photo due to coronavirus shelter in place orders.
