GTFO Poetry

Welcome to GTFO Poetry! A captivating collection of poetry publications showcasing the vibrant talents of local Sacramento poets, both old and new. Founded by the dynamic group poets, Anthony Robles, Keith Miller, Al Cortez, and Anthony Jackson, GTFO celebrates the rich diversity and creative spirit of our city.

At the heart of our project lies a passion for poetry and a commitment to amplifying the voices of our community. Through the pages of our publication, readers embark on a journey through the streets, neighborhoods, and landscapes that shape Sacramento's identity. From poignant reflections on love and loss to stirring observations on social justice and resilience, and further to just plain comedy,  each poem within our book resonates with authenticity and depth.

But our mission doesn't stop with the written word. These poets are the driving force behind a dynamic collective that brings their own unique vision to life on stage. Catch us performing at open mics and venues across the Sacramento area, where our powerful performances captivate audiences and ignite conversations about the issues that matter most or the ones that don't matter at all.

Join us as we celebrate the power of poetry to inspire, provoke, and unite. Whether you're a seasoned poetry aficionado or a newcomer to the the entire scene, GTFO invites you to discover the beauty and brilliance of our local literary talent and hopefully inspires you to try your hand at poetry!
