Lucky Charms

Author: Sunnylyn Thibodeaux

Publisher: City Lights (2026)

Since her arrival from New Orleans, Sunnylyn Thibodeaux has been an integral and idiosyncratic voice in the San Francisco Bay Area poetry scene. Lucky Charms maps her creative trajectory over a 25-year period, from 'zines and pamphlets through full-length volumes, and concludes with a substantial selection of new and previously uncollected poems. Thibodeaux writes of the cosmic and spiritual from a profoundly human perspective. Lucky Charms offers the poem as talisman, a lyric device for capturing magic and releasing it into the world.
