The Woodberry Poetry Room invites you to a warm, welcoming midwinter party and a dazzling group reading, featuring poets Sherah Bloor, Nate Klug, Esther K. Heller, KÁNYIN Olorunnisola, Anna V. Q. Ross, and Talin Tahajian. Our popular Boston Originals series celebrates the breathtaking range of aesthetics and poetics being practiced by writers who are working, dwelling, and/or creating in or around Boston at this time.

Each of our honored guests will read for approximately 8 minutes, then we will all kick back, chat, eat food, listen to music, buy (and share) books, and fortify ourselves for the year ahead. We also invite audience members to bring their own new books, as well as any fliers related to upcoming events, workshops, and/or political demonstrations that they will be hosting or engaged in this Spring.

IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE: Woodberry Poetry Room, Lamont Library, 6:00pm. Free and open to the public.

ONLINE ATTENDANCE: Livestreaming available via the Woodberry Poetry Room YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/WoodberryPoetryRoom

We encourage persons with disabilities who would like to request accommodations or have questions about physical access to contact Houghton Library at least three days in advance of the reading: [email protected]
