Keep the Lights On

Join us for the culminating celebration of the "Keep the Lights On: A Polyvocal Poetry Installation" project. This event will showcase the projections of 4 unique polyvocal poems and accompanying art crafted by Cincinnati's diverse creative community. These polyvocal poetry projections speak to the thoughts, musings, hopes, concerns, and dreams of the projects' writers and artists, and by extension, those of our city. This installation series was made possible through a 2023-2024 Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellowship awarded to Yalie Saweda Kamara, the current Cincinnati and Mercantile Library Poet Laureate. Refreshments will be served.

Free and open to the public. Registration recommended.

Projection begins between 8:30 and 8:45 pm.

*ATTENDEES UNDER 21 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT, LEGAL GUARDIAN, OR ADULT CHAPERONE.
