We’re thrilled to return to the Room & Board furniture store for our annual toast to the art of poetry. Join fellow poetry fans to sample seasonal beers and pretzels and hear new work by four terrific poets: Kevin Coval (Everything Must Go), Brandon Melendez (Gold That Frames the Mirror), Morgan Parker (Magical Negro), and Claudia Wilson (Grown). Incredible poetry, cozy surroundings, a refreshing beverage, and the company of good friends—what better way to cap off the first day of BBF weekend? This laid-back evening of poetry for ages 21+ is sponsored by Mass Poetry and hosted by Mass Poetry’s education director, Erica Charis-Molling.
