About this Event

In honor of National Poetry Month, Living Language is an evening of poetry, reflection, and community celebrating the liberating power of language. Special guest poet Amanda Shea will join the lineup, bringing her dynamic storytelling and perspective to the stage. The evening also includes a limited community open mic for local poets and an interactive mini-workshop, Poetry as Preservation, where participants will write a five-line poem inspired by a museum artifact or exhibit piece. The program closes with a collective reading of audience-created poems and an invitation to continue building community through future MAAH events.
