On July 14, “Poetry in the Garden: Voices from Marginalized America” welcomes two poets whose work reflects the tenuous experience of immigrants and refugees: National Book Award winner Martin Espada, an outspoken advocate of Latino rights, and Joan Kwon Glass, a Connecticut poet whose book Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms was recently awarded the prestigious Paterson Prize. The evening will open with a live performance of Brazilian jazz by Arthur Lipner and Nanny Asis. A Q&A session and book signing will follow.
FREE! Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy the readings, held in KTM&HC’s beautiful walled garden. In the event of inclement weather, the reading will move inside the Garden House. Ample parking on-site.
