POETRY IN THE GARDEN - Voices from Marginalized America: Immigrants

Join us for the fifth season of POETRY IN THE GARDEN! This summer, the themed series features poets whose work gives voice to historically marginalized Americans. On July 14, we proudly present National Book Award winner MARTIN ESPADA and JOAN KWON GLASS - two acclaimed poets whose work reflects the tenuous experience of immigrants living in the diaspora.

The evening will begin with a performance of Brazilian jazz featuring NANNY ASSIS and ARTHUR LIPNER. A book signing follows.

Please bring a lawn chair or blanket. In the event of rain or a heat emergency, the readings move inside the Garden House. Fully accessible. Ample parking on site.
