Wednesday, September 6, 5:30 pm – Poetry Reading in the Landscape: American Wildflowers – A Literary Field Guide

by

Join editor Susan Barba at the Arnold Arboretum on Wednesday, September 6 at 5:30 pm for an outdoor poetry reading of her new literary anthology, filled with classic and contemporary poems and essays inspired by wildflowers. Instead of sitting in a lecture hall, you will meander through the wildflowers of the Arboretum and hear beautiful poems and prose while surrounded by the wildflowers that inspired them. The group will stop at different wildflowers highlighted in the book and listen as Barba reads passages about sunflower, chicory, or goldenrod. Learn more at https://arboretum.harvard.edu/events/
