Literary Boston: the 20th and 21st Centuries
With Jennifer Flescher, Joan Houlihan, Gail Mazur, Askold Melnyczuk, and Sharan Strange.

From Lowell’s office hours and Bishop’s last years to the Blacksmith Poetry Series; from poets and writers in their youth sharing a Cambridge address to the unprecedented Darkroom Collective; from AGNI to Arrowsmith Press and the new letterpress journal Tuesday: An Art Project; from Transcendentalism to the Concord Poetry Center—literary history continues to be made in and around Boston. The panelists, each involved in the city’s literary spirit, celebrate legacies and new energies.
