until San Francisco Is My Home arrives — November 1, 2026

American Poet is a poetry and art brand creating poetry books, collectible poetry cards, postcards, art prints, and limited-edition metal prints. Our debut collection, San Francisco Is My Home, brings poetry and visual art together — a series of books, cards, and prints that celebrate San Francisco not just as a city, but as a muse, a destination, and a place of belonging.

A poet's eye — the iris, from American Poet

The invitation

See the City Through the Eye of a Poet

Read the poem below. Then visit San Francisco and look again — slowly, the way a poet looks — until the bridge, the fog, and the seven hills become something more than scenery. Until, perhaps, you too will call her home.

San Francisco Is My Home

American Poet

Down the roads of memory I drive,
as all roads lead to Rome;
my own road leads me westward —
where gray fog meets the foam.
Westward to the seven-hilled city
where the bay lies open wide,
radiant in her handsome hues,
captured and kissed by the tide.
Highway 1 still leads to the City,
as all roads lead to Rome,
to my Rome of California:
San Francisco is my home.
