April is National Poetry Month and what better way to celebrate than with a panel discussion with Boston Poet Laureate Porsha Olayiwola, former Boston Poet Laureate Danielle Legros Georges, Brandeis Visiting Poet-in-Residence Chen Chen, and UMass Amherst MFA Program Director Dara Wier. They will discuss diversity in contemporary poetry and how poets use their art form to respond to the world around them.

Join GBH, in collaboration with Mass Poetry, on April 12, 2021 for a LIVE conversation with our panel of local poets. They will take your questions live, talk about their approaches to poetry and the narrative aspects of their work.

A general admission ticket ($25) includes access to the Zoom webinar discussion and a special digital collection of curated poems from the panel. Registrants will receive the collection by April 1, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the poems that will be discussed as part of the event.

If poetry is your passion and you want to support GBH at the same time, please consider our Poetry Bundle ticket ($100) that also includes the printed collections of each poet featured at the event. Quantities are limited and delivery may take several weeks.

Do not hesitate—register now for what is sure to be an educational and inspiring discussion.
