555o S. Greenwood Ave.
Join the Smart Museum of Art and Poetry Foundation for a poetry reading, discussion, and creative writing workshop. Presented in conjunction with the museum's current exhibit, Down Time: On the Art of Retreat, the workshop explores poems by Black poets that imagine, perform, or create places of respite. The evening also features a tour of the exhibition and a guided writing exercise that engages with the poetic form as a space for escape, renewal, and transformation.
