Description
Join us for a special Verse Like Water event featuring internationally acclaimed poet, educator, musician, and activist Cornelius Eady, one of the nation's most influential literary voices. The event is free and open to the public.
Eady recently gained national attention after being selected to write and perform a poem for the inauguration ceremony of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and will perform with the Cornelius Eady Trio in a unique exploration of the intersection between poetry and music.
Attendees will also receive a free copy of Hardheaded Weather: New and Selected Poems and have an opportunity to meet the author during a book signing and craft talk.
