The Annual Bay Area Book Festival is Back On

The annual Bay Area Book Festival, originally scheduled for May 2-3, has been resurrected in virtual form with Bay Area Book Festival #UNBOUND after organizers were forced to cancel the in-person event to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

#UNBOUND’s is scheduled to run throughout this year, rolling out several programs each week, all free, including a six-part nationally syndicated Voting Rights Series that examines the foundation of democracy: the right to vote, and how it is being dangerously undermined.

This Friday, 7 pm, #UNBOUND will premiere “The Witness We Bear” with Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown (The Tradition) and National Book Award winner Nikky Finney (Love Child’s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry).

Join this magical conversation, moderated by Ismail Muhammad, reviews editor for The Believer, board member at the National Book Critics Circle, and Program Committee member at the Bay Area Book Festival.

For signing up to watch “The Witness We Bear,” visit: a preview of the event, visit: tickets, online access, and the full #UNBOUND schedule and confirmed speakers, please visit baybookfest.org/unbound.
