“Poetry in the Parks,” National Poetry Month Reading

Come celebrate the “Poetry in the Parks” community engagement series, starting with a free poetry reading held during National Poetry Month. Hosted by ArtsFairfax and the Fairfax Poet Laureate, the fifth event in this series will feature the poetry of prominent writers from the greater DC/Maryland/Virginia region. Poets include Camisha L. Jones, Emilia Phillips, Benjamin Renne, and Marcielo Shirley.

Poetry in the Parks readings and workshops are programmed in close partnership with ArtsFairfax and Fairfax County Park Authority with accessibility in mind for visitors with disabilities. Poetry in the Parks is made possible in part by Fairfax County, Virginia Commission for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Virginia Humanities.
