Joie Cook
Joie Cook has been on the San Francisco poetry scene, both in the Mission (now defunct Café Babar) and North Beach, for a long while. In recent years, she discovered painting and divides her time between that imagery and writing. Currently, she is working on her tumultuous memoirs which often give her writer's block. “Poetry saved my life,” she says, “it is as much therapeutic for me as it is euphoric joy.”
