Join us for Milkweed Books’ Poetry Listening Party, featuring a lyrical selection of audiobooks on our list. Get a pre-release sneak peek of The Popol Vuh audiobook, translated from the K’iche and read by local poet Michael Bazzett. Relax in our cozy reading nook and let the voices of Mikeas Sánchez, JJJJJerome Ellis, Yalie Saweda Kamara, and Ada Limón wash over you, with some sips and snacks in reaching distance. Drop in, bring your own earbuds and device, or gather round our listening station to sample our innovative audiobook selection!
THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
Yalie Saweda Kamara’s Besaydoo is an elegantly wrought love song to home—as place, as people, as body, and as language. Yalie Saweda Kamara writes for a new America, where praise is plentiful and Black lives flourish.
