VESSELS: A Poetry Reading Series — Angelique Palmer
Hosted at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington in the Tiffany Gallery, Vessels features established poets, who will share their work through reading and performance. Refreshments and time for Q&A to follow.
In March, the feature poet is Angelique Palmer–a performance poet, Kindergarten Teacher, and Spoken Word instructor at Wilkes University. She is in her first year of a three-year tenure as Fairfax County Poet Laureate.
Poetry readings enrich the museum experience by connecting visual and literary arts, and offering a space for poets, like visual artists, to reach an audience and share their work. FREE to attend.
