NOTE: NO PROGRAM FOR JULY 30!!! The poets selected for this series each bring their varied perspectives from a diverse range of backgrounds and will read selections that reflect the role feminist writers, artists, and leaders have played in their practices. A talkback and book signing will follow each reading.
This series originated in connection with the Aldrich's group exhibit "52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone," which tracks the evolution of feminist art practices over the past five decades. "52 Artists" will be on view from June 6 through Jan. 8, 2023.

This program is sponsored by The Ridgefield Library and the Ridgefield Poet Laureate (Barb Jennes). Please see thealdrich.org for admission fees, and registration information.
