I would know. It’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2022-10-16/history-pickled-jalapenos-xalapa-veracruz-mexican-food\">my parents’ hometown\u003c/a>, where my mother and grandfather currently live.

But I’ve never encountered Bay Area artists there, especially ones who aren’t Mexican.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I was delighted — and surprised — when I heard that a poetry acquaintance of mine, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13924716/nomadic-press-a-chosen-family-for-queer-and-bipoc-writers-closes-up-shop\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">J.K.

He is currently in the process of moving the cafe inside of Huerto to give visiting artists an on-site dining option.

The lower portion of the living space has a total of five rooms, including a dining area, lounging spaces, an office, a bedroom and a kitchen, with Fowler’s living quarters located beyond the courtyard’s garden.

"content": "\u003cp>These days you can find Tongo Eisen-Martin, San Francisco’s Eighth Poet Laureate, spending much of his time not in the city but over in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hasn’t abandoned his post. In fact, volunteering at Parker Community School, a self-governed space occupied by local activists, is exactly in line with his priorities as poet laureate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) Board of Education \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11915396/we-have-power-oakland-activists-camp-out-in-school-to-stop-its-closure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voted to close, merge or reduce eleven schools\u003c/a> over the next two years, including what was then known as Parker K-8 School. The school district said insufficient enrollment made the changes necessary, but the plan met intense opposition from local families, who pointed out that many of the schools slated for closure disproportionately served high numbers of Black and Brown students, often in neighborhoods that had already become victim to disinvestment by the City of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align='right' size='medium' citation='Tongo Eisen-Martin']‘By the time you pick up the pen, it’s sort of too late. So much of craft begins with the life you live before you pick up the pen.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the eleven schools, Parker K-8 was one set to close before the start of the 2022-2023 school year. But the community wasn’t having it. The occupation began on May 25, the last day of instruction. That’s when, at least in the occupiers’ eyes, Parker K-8 became the Parker Community School. The movement is now entering its third month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Eisen-Martin has spent much of his time behind a folding table and a laptop with posters that say “Don’t Talk To The Police” and “Community not Closures” behind him. He checks students and visitors in, helps out with programming and keeps an eye on the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is still an occupied school, and people could be removed at any time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a society like this, I think about police at the door all the time,” Eisen-Martin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eisen-Martin is both an activist fighting against structural racism in America and a poet. In one of his poems he writes, “I’m not creative, I’m just the silliest of the revolutionaries.” Participating in a grassroots movement like this is actually part of his creative process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the time you pick up the pen, it’s sort of too late. So much of craft begins with the life you live before you pick up the pen,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That mindset also informs the kind of curriculum that’s being taught at Parker K-8 now.[aside postid='news_11915396']“Before we even get to the classroom, we start with the energy of resistance and in that way, a poem or any type of writing takes care of itself,” Eisen-Martin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his poetry, Eisen-Martin writes about “the neo-confederate tendency that’s been sweeping the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For him and his fellow activists, this occupation represents an important stand for the right of Black and Brown people to exist and thrive in rapidly gentrifying Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The moves they’re making to close these schools is really part of a plan of ethnic cleansing of Oakland,” he says. “If you take a neighborhood and you take out all of its centers of gathering, we’re easier to move to the next reservation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Summer School for the Community, by the Community\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The schedule for students on Wednesday, July 6, included breakfast, community circle, jewelry, reading, P.E., political education, lunch, math/STEM, free time and history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political education is one of the main things that sets occupied Parker and OUSD Parker apart for 13-year-old Jasionna Landry, one of the students at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Before], they would only teach us about simple Black history,” she says. “They didn’t really teach us about anything beyond that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another student, 15-year-old Jayvien Bolden, says he is working on a play—admittedly, it’s a little autobiographical—about “a kid whose childhood school is getting shut down and he’s not gonna let it go so easily,” he says. “He’s gonna do everything he can to try to save it. And it’s about him bringing the community together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13916724\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13916724\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/ROCHELLE.jpeg\" alt=\"A Woman stands with her son and two daughters outside of Parker Elementary\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/ROCHELLE.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/ROCHELLE-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/ROCHELLE-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rochelle Jenkins (right); her son Jayvien Bolden, 15, a graduate of Parker; her daughter Zariah, 12; and another Parker student pose outside the school, May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Julia McEvoy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Although Eisen-Martin is one of the more high-profile activists in the occupation, “I’m not the main protagonist here,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That credit goes to Rochelle Jenkins, who began protesting with her four children, including Bolden and her two younger daughters who were still enrolled at the school. That was back in February, when Parker K-8 families found out about the proposed shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They was like, ‘Well, mom, we need to go protest.’ And I was like, ‘You guys are absolutely right,’” Jenkins says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Jenkins, her kids and a few friends walked down to the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Ritchie Street with homemade signs and started raising awareness. That snowballed into the current occupation, which Jenkins says can host around 25 to 30 students, teachers and volunteers on any given day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christina Beach co-taught a Black history lesson on the day that KQED visited. A former activist, she began to cry when she discussed her reasons for volunteering at Parker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The best thing you can do as an activist is create future leaders, and develop them and give them the confidence, skills, knowledge, to carry it on to future generations,” she says. “I feel like I’m part of it, and that’s exciting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lot going on at Parker among the volunteers, the teachers, the students and the spontaneous roller skate parties in the wood-floored gymnasium. But Jenkins says Eisen-Martin is “the glue that holds this whole thing together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We actually all share a similar passion, and that’s a passion for people in the community,” she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He is truly a revolutionary poet in the sense that his words and his art are revolutionary, and his actions are also revolutionary,” says Anthony Walters, another school volunteer. “He has integrity as a Black man standing up for his community, and that is the strongest message that he can convey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13916734\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13916734\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/07/oea-e1651267429722.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland teachers march on the picket line on April 29, 2022, outside Parker K-8 in East Oakland.

All of that is what stimulates social change and a sense of community. So poetry used for that purpose is ultimately more powerful than reading some revolutionary tract.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katzenberger says that previous San Francisco Poet Laureates have also used their role for activism. “You’re supposed to be in the community stimulating minds and bringing poetry to the people somehow, and different laureates have done that in different ways.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at 42 years old, “Tongo is a great deal younger than previous laureates, and he’s also more politically active than I think anyone has been so far,” she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katzenberger says that Eisen-Martin is a perfect representation of the idea that a poet should be a “fly in the ointment for the powers that be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She first heard Eisen-Martin at a poetry reading in 2019, and thought hearing him perform was more like listening to a musician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds improvisatory. He’s not reading, he’s actually reciting,” says Katzenberger. “Each time there is a performance it’s a little bit different from whatever else you might have experienced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eisen-Martin’s 6-foot-8 frame commands its own gravity. His voice rumbles, at times lethargic, offering his deliberate, pensive view of the world. [aside postid='arts_13900077']That all changes when he gets on the stage. His pacing can vary between sedated and frenetic, humorous and chaotic, morose and furious.

Prison is evidence of this principle. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be clear, you are living in a reality of organized violence.

Now, as he finds himself in an official city role, Eisen-Martin spoke with KQED to outline his vision for San Francisco, emphasize the importance of poetry in underserved communities, and explain why we need to revisit the urgency of last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kate Wolffe: Hi Tongo, congratulations. You’ve said San Francisco, the Bay Area, is a dystopia. To me, a poet laureate feels like someone who engages with the city and inspires hope. How do you balance those two things? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tongo Eisen-Martin: I think below inspiration and hope and a lot of various energies, there has to be awareness — social awareness, political awareness — and that’s where my efforts are skewed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How we react to it is how we react to it. But I think now is the time to, you know, really approach social life with a praxis, with an understanding of, “OK, well, how does oppression actually work? Who is actually benefiting? How do we resist this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there’s any little boost in my craft, it really just comes from a perpetual inquiry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In your inaugural address as Poet Laureate, you said “unity is the only thing” and “individualism at its core is about selective humanization.” Can you say more about that?\u003c/strong>[aside postID='arts_13806398']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just to take our conversation, for example, I’m speaking as Poet Laureate: “Let us speak about these issues pertaining to poetry and application of some kind of public embrace of poetry.” Even my identity. I have this identity as a poet, or this or that, and not just a person that is actually talking to you live from unceded territory. If you think about it, there’s so much genocide, and so much slavery, there’s so much exploitation, that we psychically turn a blind eye just to go on about our daily business. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the individualism that’s dangerous, because that ignoring — I mean, “ignoring” doesn’t even cover it — that delusion actually adds to the consent that makes all this oppression and repression possible. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, even think about the kids in the cages. Are they still in the cages? The three-year-olds and the five-year-olds of the asylum seekers, are they still in the cages? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been in our face for three years now, at least. Right? We talk about a billion things other than the fact there are, within driving distance, there are kids in cages. This is that kind of individualism that oppression — that oppressors — thrive on. And that’s what we have to turn our attention to, or at least take our efforts, whatever our individual assertion is, whatever our talents, our interests, whatever our skills, and synthesize it with some kind of acknowledgment of the total social picture. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what I’m at the gate yelling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maybe people feel like they have to turn a blind eye in order to function in society.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right, definitely. In order to fit your psyche in the structure, it requires you to take some of your mind and leave it at home. And this is how we’re socialized. This is what’s rewarded, right? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To not acknowledge the humanity of some is rewarded. And really it’s been rewarded since the settler colonial project began. And when you look at what’s not rewarded, nine times out of ten, it’s people who decide that what’s going to be the center of their day is the humanity of all. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some might call them revolutionaries, but that’s really all it is, right? Someone who’s just entering everybody’s humanity. Because if I center everybody’s humanity, well, now my day looks different. I’m going to have to do something different with it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would you call yourself a revolutionary?\u003c/strong>[aside postID='arts_13810393']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would, but a failing revolutionary. I wouldn’t pat myself on the back yet, until we had movements that are better organized, or organized more around a clear ideology and not just tactic, tactic, tactic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s interesting about resistance is where it exists in the daily self-talk. Now for somebody who wants to stand on the identity of “revolutionary,” daily this is what you think about: “Where am I in relationship to revolutionary change?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who don’t, that’s just not what we’re talking to ourselves about. We’re talking about all kinds of other stuff. No judgment, it’s just reality, that’s not what’s going through your mind. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now in the summer, what the opportunity was, everybody was defining themselves according to this moment. That’s a huge amount of energy that movement doesn’t ordinarily have access to. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s gone now, right? And it’s gone because there was no solid enough political organization to take that energy and clarify it for people and then give people something to do. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see this dance and things are only going to get more and more frenetic because capitalism is in crisis, because climate catastrophe is only going to get more and more dramatic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revolutionary energy is not just a spontaneous reaction to dramatic conditions. We see how this kind of modern psyche will just adjust itself, will adjust its individualism, to whatever. We’re addicted to it. So it’s time to Black Panther up again. That’s really where transformation comes from. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Right. So what is your vision for yourself in this role?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many beautiful artists, educators, curators, organizations [in San Francisco]. The art landscape of San Francisco is not missing anything — except maybe missing the people, because so many are gone. [laughing] You know, we might have to do some San Francisco extension workshops in Antioch or something like that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I want to add to the landscape or just support: I want workshops. Poetry programs that do center social analysis. Yes, we want to build insight into what language can do. But at the same time, the vehicle is insight into the content that language is exploring. I’ll work with anybody, anywhere, any any age. I love youth programming, but I think the whole village should get the opportunity to develop themselves in craft too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Along those lines, how do you see poetry becoming more integrated into the community? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love the prospects of the neighborhood libraries becoming centers of this almost political education. Really, I guess moving the poetry scene back into the proletariat a little bit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of “high art” really is a mass effort. It’s definitely a product of a mass effort. I did not get these poems, they did not cost me tens of thousands of dollars. You know, my poetry was developed in the trenches of mass culture. And so I want to bring it home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Tongo Eisen-Martin is San Francisco’s eighth Poet Laureate and the author of the poetry collections ‘Someone’s Dead Already’ and ‘Heaven is All Goodbyes.’ He has a third poetry collection set to be published in the fall of this year.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

How do you balance those two things? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tongo Eisen-Martin: I think below inspiration and hope and a lot of various energies, there has to be awareness — social awareness, political awareness — and that’s where my efforts are skewed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I have this identity as a poet, or this or that, and not just a person that is actually talking to you live from unceded territory. If you think about it, there’s so much genocide, and so much slavery, there’s so much exploitation, that we psychically turn a blind eye just to go on about our daily business. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the individualism that’s dangerous, because that ignoring — I mean, “ignoring” doesn’t even cover it — that delusion actually adds to the consent that makes all this oppression and repression possible. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, even think about the kids in the cages. Are they still in the cages? The three-year-olds and the five-year-olds of the asylum seekers, are they still in the cages? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been in our face for three years now, at least. Right? We talk about a billion things other than the fact there are, within driving distance, there are kids in cages. This is that kind of individualism that oppression — that oppressors — thrive on. And that’s what we have to turn our attention to, or at least take our efforts, whatever our individual assertion is, whatever our talents, our interests, whatever our skills, and synthesize it with some kind of acknowledgment of the total social picture. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what I’m at the gate yelling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maybe people feel like they have to turn a blind eye in order to function in society.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right, definitely. In order to fit your psyche in the structure, it requires you to take some of your mind and leave it at home. And this is how we’re socialized. This is what’s rewarded, right? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To not acknowledge the humanity of some is rewarded. And really it’s been rewarded since the settler colonial project began. And when you look at what’s not rewarded, nine times out of ten, it’s people who decide that what’s going to be the center of their day is the humanity of all. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some might call them revolutionaries, but that’s really all it is, right? Someone who’s just entering everybody’s humanity. Because if I center everybody’s humanity, well, now my day looks different. I’m going to have to do something different with it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would you call yourself a revolutionary?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now for somebody who wants to stand on the identity of “revolutionary,” daily this is what you think about: “Where am I in relationship to revolutionary change?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who don’t, that’s just not what we’re talking to ourselves about. We’re talking about all kinds of other stuff. No judgment, it’s just reality, that’s not what’s going through your mind. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now in the summer, what the opportunity was, everybody was defining themselves according to this moment. That’s a huge amount of energy that movement doesn’t ordinarily have access to. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s gone now, right? And it’s gone because there was no solid enough political organization to take that energy and clarify it for people and then give people something to do. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see this dance and things are only going to get more and more frenetic because capitalism is in crisis, because climate catastrophe is only going to get more and more dramatic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revolutionary energy is not just a spontaneous reaction to dramatic conditions. We see how this kind of modern psyche will just adjust itself, will adjust its individualism, to whatever. We’re addicted to it. So it’s time to Black Panther up again.

So what is your vision for yourself in this role?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many beautiful artists, educators, curators, organizations [in San Francisco]. The art landscape of San Francisco is not missing anything — except maybe missing the people, because so many are gone. [laughing] You know, we might have to do some San Francisco extension workshops in Antioch or something like that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I want to add to the landscape or just support: I want workshops. Poetry programs that do center social analysis. Yes, we want to build insight into what language can do. But at the same time, the vehicle is insight into the content that language is exploring. I’ll work with anybody, anywhere, any any age. I love youth programming, but I think the whole village should get the opportunity to develop themselves in craft too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Along those lines, how do you see poetry becoming more integrated into the community? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love the prospects of the neighborhood libraries becoming centers of this almost political education. Really, I guess moving the poetry scene back into the proletariat a little bit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of “high art” really is a mass effort. It’s definitely a product of a mass effort. I did not get these poems, they did not cost me tens of thousands of dollars. You know, my poetry was developed in the trenches of mass culture. And so I want to bring it home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
