Celebrate National Poetry Month!

Thursday, April 20 | 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
  • Poetry

Henri Cole, Brenda Hillman

Two nationally known award-winning poets read from their new works and talk about their influences and passions. Henri Coles explores the formality and density of the sonnet with its glorious layers of emotion with a contemporary twist in his new collection Gravity and Center: Selected Sonnets, 1994-2022. Brenda Hillman’s bold, experimental eco-poems in her recent work A Few Minutes Before Later branch out into free-form tangents exploring nature and human nature, power and devastation.
Tickets are free for Mechanics’ Institute Members, $5–10 sliding scale for the public.
