Black Poetry Fest

Join us every Thursday in February for a series of virtual readings and conversations on black poetics featuring Ryan J., Jessica Lanay, Dustin Pearson and Malcolm Tariq as we explore themes of family, history, black identity, and black language and music.

This program is part of Lift Every Voice: Why African American Poetry Matters, a national public humanities initiative of Library of America presented in partnership with The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture with generous support from The National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Emerson Collective.
