Program on Poetry and Psychoanalysis
Please join our lively and informative program in which a widely published guest poet discusses his or her work informelly with one of the poet / psychoanalysts of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. The conversation about the poet process and poems and about poetry and its interface with psychoanalysis is followed by a reading of some of the poems and a discussion with the audience.
An offering of the Outreach Committee of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, Poetry and Psychoanalysis is free and open to the public. After each event, those who wish to do so may purchase books by the poet and have these signed.

Our events, which are free and open to the public, include an informal interview of the guest poet by one of the poet/analyst members of SFCP, in this instance Susan Kolodny, a reading from the poet's work, and an informal exchange about matters concerning the poems, poetry, psychoanalysis, language, and the creative process, with a lively audience of poets, analysts, therapists, and others.
