Celebrate the summer solstice with two ocean-loving poets—North County's own Carly Marie DeMento and surfer Michael Klam. Join them for the release of two new books—the "2025-2026 San Diego Poetry Annual" and Klam's latest collection of poetry and visual art, "Stay There," Garden Oak Press: 2026. Carly Marie DeMento is a poet and third-generation San Diegan. Her poetry has appeared in the North American Review, Kestrel, and Green Hills Literary Lantern—and been hung in the best spot of all: friends' kitchens. Nominated for Best New Poets in 2025, Carly's work is supported by Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. She is the co-creator of "Desire, Calling"—a reading series that features queer writers, a dance party, and a fundraiser for local nonprofits. Michael Klam is associate publisher of the San Diego Poetry Annual. He is editor-in-chief of the bilingual edition of the SDPA. Klam hosts San Diego Central Library’s Conversations with Poets. His books include "The Cheapest Flight to Paradise" (Puna Press: 2017), "Anything for a Dull Moment" (Garden Oak Press: 2020), and "Stay There" (Garden Oak Press: 2026).

Experience a transformative journey with "A Walk with Yáamay," a series of free, site-specific guided “art walks” presented by New Village Arts. Led by a council of Indigenous artists and curators, these immersive tours blend natural exploration with live poetry, song, visual art, and performance. Drawing inspiration from "Yáamay: An Anthology of Feminine Perspectives Across Indigenous California," this experience invites you to become part of the narrative. Every participant will be provided with a journal and pencil to capture personal reflections, sketches, and insights as the performance unfolds around them- as well as a copy of the anthology. The "A Walk with Yáamay" program is proud to partner with Queer Sol Collective, the poets of Yáamay, and local parks and recreation spaces to bring this experience to life.

The Blank Table is reimagining San Diego's culinary scene through secret dining experiences that bring people together over exceptional food, cocktails, and conversation. Built around the idea that there's no one way to gather, guests are invited to come solo, with friends, or for a special occasion, sharing an unforgettable evening around one blank table. Each one-night-only experience features a five-course prix fixe menu with curated cocktail pairings, all set in a hidden location revealed to guests just 24 hours before the event. Committed to supporting local creatives and showcasing sustainable, seasonal ingredients, The Blank Table transforms unexpected spaces into immersive, community-driven dining experiences. Our next dinner, June 25, features acclaimed Chef Kass DeLeon of The Service Animals, whose deeply personal cuisine draws from her Mexican heritage and San Diego roots, alongside Seth Sandoval of Kiku Room, celebrated hospitality leader and founder of Happy Hour Heroes, who will craft bespoke cocktail pairings for the evening. Join us for a night of thoughtful food, inspired drinks, and meaningful connections, all around a blank table. The Blank Table on Facebook / Instagram
