***This event was originally scheduled as an in person event at the same date and time, but will now take place virtually.***

Join us virtually for a Poetry 4 x 4, as four Boston area poets each read four of their poems this National Poetry Month.

The evening's featured poets are Jennifer Barber, Fred Marchant, Danielle Legros Georges and George Kalogeris.

Danielle Legros Georges’ The Dear Remote Nearness of You was published in 2016 by Barrow Street Press; and her Island Heart, translations of the poems of Ida Faubert, published in 2021 by Subpress Books. The former Boston Poet Laureate, she teaches at Lesley University.

George Kalogeris's most recent book of poems is Winthropos (Louisiana State University Press, 2021) and his previous collection, Guide to Greece, was also published by Louisiana State University Press. Kalogeris teaches literature and classics in translation at Suffolk University in Boston.
