SUMMARY:W.S. Merwin: A Talk and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:This event was rescheduled from March 21. \n\n\n\nW.S. Merwin was famed for his poetry\, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry twice and named the United States Poet Laureate in 2010. But he was also a nature enthusiast with a deep concern for conservation. Merwin bought a plot of former agricultural land in Maui in 1977 and spent 40 years revitalizing the land\, planting nearly 3\,000 species of palm trees\, and the estate is now recognized as one of the most important collections of palms in the world. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a talk and poetry reading celebrating Merwin’s legacy. Speakers will include Sonnet Coggins\, Executive Director of the Merwin Conservancy that was set up to care for Merwin’s land after his death in 2019\, and Matthew Battles\, Arnoldia Editor and author of a feature article on Merwin for this season’s Arnoldia issue. After the talk and Q&A with the audience\, we will move into a participatory poetry reading of Merwin’s works; attendees are welcome to take a turn reading or can simply sit back and listen. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program takes place in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall\, which is wheelchair accessible. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nMake sure to select a number of tickets before clicking “Get Tickets” below!
