fact or fiction
Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
The Power of Distance
Some people don’t need more communication; they need to leave. Many of us are stuck in a misconception: "If I explain clearly, show a little more patience, and try a little harder, the other person will understand, and our relationship will improve."

COSMIC BLUES 1992 — by Vicki
Cosmic Blues 1992 is a memory film set to music; a blues reel pulled from a decade when San Francisco still hummed with old ghosts and new stories. Some moments never fade; they just wait for the right song to wake them. This piece carries the Palace glow, the Polk Street neon, the barefoot trolley ride, and the Native films we brought to the festival. It’s part memory, part music, part time capsule, a slow burn of truth, fog, and the kind of moments that still echo through me.

Ghosts in the Fuel Pump
This old gas station flashed by my train window in 2016 and pulled me straight back to the days of Route 66, soda pops, and “fill ’er up” summers, a forgotten station on a long desert stretch between Austin and LA, where time paused just long enough for me to remember everything.

Stormy Sunshine Clouds at the Bay 2014
Stormy Sunshine Clouds at the Bay 2014 Another Decade of Another Life I was standing at the Phillips station in Rockport, waiting on Gloria to finish her shift, the two of us sharing breakfast snacks like we always did. Nothing fancy just the kind of small ritual that becomes the heartbeat of a friendship. The bay stretched out behind the palms, pretending to be calm.

Loving Without Losing Yourself
The kind of woman a man truly loves and can’t let go of is usually not the most stunningly beautiful, nor necessarily the wealthiest. What a man truly can’t bear to part with is the woman who genuinely wants a long-term relationship with him, yet maintains her own independence and doesn't tie her entire life to him.
