"Keeper of the Fire is packed with details of the writer and activist's life, while also depicting the Mission District as a flash point, delving into current pressures on the neighborhood and touching on recent Latin American history and the Chicano movement."
— Pam Grady, San Francisco Chronicle
Finding his voice in the seminal Beat movement, Alejandro Murguía would come to be named San Francisco's first Latino Poet Laureate. But his contributions to society weren't only limited to cultural realms, as Murguía became a fierce advocate for peoples' movements, both at home and abroad.
Keeper of the Fire celebrates the life of work of this idiosyncratic literary firebrand, who demonstrated the social utility and necessity of the arts for movements and communities of all kinds.
