Our History: Poetry & the Personal Past

Join the National Parks Service for “Our History: Poetry & the Personal Past,” hosted by former Cambridge Poet Populist Toni Bee. This event features short poetry readings by local poets Chad Parenteau, Justice, Jean Dany Joachim, and Heather Nelson, as well as opportunities for the audience to create their own poetry. Poets and audience members will reflect on how the past shapes our individuality and connects us with others.
