Ruth's Table

Some stories stay with you long after the last page, especially when you hear them from the people who lived them. Listen To Your Elders: An Elder Project Anthology Release gathers writers, readers, and community members at Ruth's Table in San Francisco's Mission District for an evening celebrating the newest Elder Project anthology. Contributors take the stage to read original essays, poems, and reflections inspired by lives rich with humor, heartbreak, resilience, and joy, turning the book launch into something far more personal than a typical literary event. It's a rare chance to hear decades of experience shared in the authors' own voices and a reminder that some of the most powerful stories are still being written.
