About the group: 1428 Poets started pre-pandemic at 1428 Haight St., San Francisco, by the late, great Richard Sanderell: poet, activist, Vietnam vet, Indigenous Peoples advocate and great human. Now, Dan Brady and Antoinette Vella Payne host the ongoing open mic and featured poet readings at the North Beach Library.
About the featured poet: Milo Starr Johnson is a multidisciplinary artist, a seeker by nature committed to changing inner and outer realms with love and mischief. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she completed the professional three-year theater training program at ACT’s Young Conservatory before becoming part of the SF punk scene in the early 80s. She was awarded a screenwriting fellowship from the American Film Institute and spent two decades performing solo shows in Los Angeles before returning back to the Bay Area. In 2015, she released her debut The Perambulator. Her award-winning podcast from 2022, Miss Experience White, was recently adapted into a book in spring of 2025.
