Reading
Alexis De Veaux & Keioui Keijaun Thomas
A true poet’s poet, lover’s poet, everybody’s poet, James Schuyler was a dear and committed friend and mentor to many in the Poetry Project's community, and generations later remains a reason many of us are poets at all. Please join us as we celebrate the centenary birthday of this beloved New York icon with a performance of his poem “Hymn to Life,” featuring a multi-generational, polyvocal group of Schuyler fans, friends, and protégés.
Featuring readings by Alexis Almeida, Douglas Crase, Will Farris, t’ai freedom ford, Mary Manning, and Charles North, and music by David Grubbs.
We hope you can join us for a pre-event reception at 7 pm!
