The Tenderloin Reading Series is a quarterly event hosted by Jonathan Hirsch at Koko Cocktails featuring poems, performances, fiction, and creative non-fiction on or about San Francisco’s infamous Tenderloin district. The occasional journal of written pieces, TENDER-LOIN, is slated for release in October. An online segment we like to call TENDERLOGUES is also in the works with journal entries on San Franciscans’ favorite Tenderloin moments. What started as a word of mouth whim has ballooned into a moving, hilarious, and heartbreaking quarterly.
