Join us for this unique Poetry Month event! The Buffalo AKG is proud to announce a special poetry reading by former U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera, who wrote two beautiful poems featured in the exhibition Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way. Kicking off the day, local poets from Los Artistas del Barrio will set the stage with select poetry readings from their own collections. Following the readings, Herrera will be signing copies of his books.
