The United States Poet Laureate Ada Limón will join Humanities Kansas, the Salina Art Center, and Salina Arts and Humanities for a free poetry reading at the Salina Art Center on October 17, 2024. This will be her first poetry reading in Kansas since becoming the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States in 2022.
Coinciding with the launch of NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft on its mission to explore the moons of Jupiter, Limón’s poetry reading in Salina during National Arts and Humanities Month will include the first poem ever engraved on the side of a spacecraft, “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa.” Stay after the reading to stargaze in the art center’s courtyard!
Save the date for the October event! In-person and livestream tickets are available beginning August 27.
