Description

 

Join your host, Toni Bee, and poets Dexter Roberts and Tom Daley, for an afternoon of art and poetry alongside the Longfellow House garden. The dynamic Roberts and Daley are poets who double as artists. They will share their lyrical words and fine art: acrylics, pastel chalk art, and calligraphy. There will be a question and answer period, and light snacks will be served.

 

The Longfellow Summer Arts Festival brings music, poetry, and community to the East Lawn of the Longfellow House on Sunday afternoons through the summer. All events are free and open to the public.

In the case of inclement weather, poetry readings will be moved indoors. Concerts will be canceled or rescheduled.

The series is made possible with support from the Friends of Longfellow House-Washington's HeadquartersNew England Poetry ClubBerklee College of Music, and the Mass Cultural Council.
