Poetry[]

Jeremy Snyder began writing poetry at age 5.[3] Snyder hosts a poetry open mic, Poetry by the Bay, every Thursday night.[5][1][4] Poetry by the Bay was founded in 2008 by Kyrah Ayers.[6][7][1] Snyder became Vallejo’s poet laureate in January 2020 and serves until December 31, 2021.[8] He was preceded in office by D.L. Lang and Dr. Genea Brice.[9] His term may be extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the live events and poetry workshops he had planned.[10] In 2021 he performed at a virtual benefit for the Solano County Library Foundation[11][12][13] and appeared on the Rooted in Poetry podcast.[14][15] He also performed with his predecessors at Alibi Bookshop,[10][16] and with fellow San Francisco bay area poets laureate in Richmond.[17]
