the rhythm of a poem beats faster: a solstice-eve gathering in celebration of community
Join us on Saturday, June 20 as we prepare to meet the longest day of the year with a chorus of poetry. We’ll congregate in the breathtaking sanctuary of St. Ann’s as over 50 poets remind us of the ability of language to transcend, resist, and most importantly, connect. Performances will feature fellows, award winners, readers, teachers, students, community members and more from the Brooklyn Poets community. All funds raised will support our programs and operations including our community space at 144 Montague, free community groups, fellowships, sliding scale registrations & more.
Featured readers include Adam Falkner, Aishvarya Arora, Andres Cordoba, Annie Finch, Anthony Thomas Lombardi, Brad Walrond, C.
