As the first Black Poet Laureate of Santa Clara County, he will be reading a selection from his repertoire of works including pieces from his most recent collection, Blood at the Root. We are thrilled to host Tshaka at the library and to be inspired by his artistry on the microphone. There will be a book signing and meet and greet at the end of the program.
