We are excited to merge our Line Breaks Literary Reading Series and our year-long Humanities program, Black Arts in America for an wonderful roster of poets this year. We welcome back three of the talented women you enjoyed virtually last season after repeated requests for some in-person time with them. Don't worry, though. If you are not yet vaccinated or don't feel comfortable gathering in person yet, we will be streaming the readings throughout the year.
