Join Folger Poetry in honoring the legacy of former Folger Shakespeare Library Director O.B. Hardison, Jr. in an evening of dynamic readings by the next generation of local poets.

DC-based singer, author, educator, and youth worker Alexa Patrick (Remedies for Disappearing) will be joined by local youth poets to read works that honor the past, energize the present, and envision the future.

The reading will be followed by a book signing in the Great Hall.
