Join us for an evening of poetry and performance curated by Porsha Olayiwola, Boston Poet Laureate, Gardner Museum Artist-In-Residence, and Neighborhood Salon Luminary, and featuring leading artists Danez Smith, Chrysanthemum, Jarvis Subia, and Imani Davis.

These poets invite us to consider questions of influence and find new meaning through language and performance.

This canon’s theme, 'Well Dressed: Public Self/Private Self,' is inspired by the Museum’s fall exhibitions Fabiola Jean Louis: Rewriting History, Inventing Isabella and Carla Fernández’s newly commissioned work for the Anne H. Fitzpatrick Façade.

Poets will read poems exploring the public persona and the poetic confessional tradition.

Come dressed to express your inner self, creativity, and wildest dreams.
