in light of reading Starting Today: 100 Poems for Obama's First 100 Days I began thinking of other, maybe more politically aversive anthologies/writing features and thought of this particular feature edited by Thom Donovan surrounding the Occupy Wall Street movement. This feature brings together writers from both the East and West coast (several of which live here in the Bay Area), etc.
In relation to this: tonight at 8:30pm Thom Donovan will be reading with Sara Larsen and Suzanne Stein at California College of the Arts marked by two chapbooks being released by Compline (a press of local poet Michael Cross): the chapbooks are The Hegemon Say by Thom Donovan being sold for $5 and Sara Larsen's MERRY HELL will be handed out for free. If you're interested in obtaining either of these chapbooks let me know!

Wild Horses Of Fire: Poetry During OWS: The following feature contains original writing by 19 participants: Anne Boyer, Dana Ward, Anelise Chen, Brian Ang, Marie Buck, Stephanie Young, Lauren Levin, Brandon Brown, Kristin Prevallet, Josef Kaplan, Brian Whitener, Rob Halpern, Alli Warren, Jackqueline Frost, Michael Cross, Frank Sherlock, Thom Donovan, Susan Bernofsky, and David Brazil. The feature was edited and composed between September 2011 and April 2012, dates which correspond roughly to the first seven months of the Occupy movement. It was originally published in the Summer 2012 issue of the journalRethinking Marxism.
