Today on Voices from the Hill, we are joined by by novelist and teacher Janis Cooke Newman, a deeply respected voice in the Bay Area literary community. Janis is the author of Mary, a luminous reimagining of Mary Todd Lincoln’s life, and A Master Plan for Rescue, a novel that explores identity, memory, and the stories we inherit. Beyond her own writing, Janis is a longtime instructor at Page Street Writers, where she has guided countless writers in finding their voice and bringing their stories into the world. Her work lives at the intersection of history, imagination, and emotional truth—and her teaching reflects a deep commitment to craft, community, and connection. In this conversation, we’ll explore the creative life here in San Francisco, what it means to build literary community, and how writers can find both solitude and belonging in their work. So let's dive in.

The Odyssey has been told for 3,000 years. Phil Cousineau has found 24 new lessons in it — and he's bringing them to our neighborhood. ✨

Join us for an intimate evening as Phil sits down with Jennifer Barone to explore *The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-Four Life Lessons from Homer's Epic* — a book as timely as the story is ancient.

Phil is the author of over 30 books, a longtime collaborator of Joseph Campbell, and a mythology consultant for Pixar and Lucasfilm. This is a rare chance to hear one of the great storytellers of our time in conversation, right here in North Beach.
