On February 10 at 7:30 pm, Robert Pinsky, Rosanna Warren, Jorie Graham, and a dozen other Boston-area poets will join together for a collaborative reading to benefit "Partners in Health" and the people of Haiti. It will take place at Longfellow Hall/Harvard, Appian Way, Cambridge, MA. I ( Kim Triedman) have been organizing this benefit with Jim Henle from Harvard, and we will be co-chairing this event. As of today, the confirmed readers are:
Robert Pinsky
Jorie Graham
Rosanna Warren
Afaa Michael Weaver
Fred Marchant
Christina Davis
Daniel Tobin
Barbara Helfgott-Hyett
Jean-Dany Joachim
Patrick Sylvain
Wendy Mnookin
Marilene Phipps-Kettlewell
Nadia Herman-Colburn
Kim Stafford
Tom Daley
Jericho Brown
Franny Lindsay
Requested donation will be $10, with all proceeds going to Partners in Health (PIH). Poets' books will also be on sale, with all proceeds after cost going to PIH. The event is being co-sponsored by the Woodberry Poetry Room at Harvard and Harvard's Technical and Clerical Workers Union, which is providing much-needed logistical support.
I have to say it’s amazing how responsive people have been – the poets themselves, Harvard, individuals donating time and resources of various sorts. We’ve got people from so many institutions around Boston working on this. It’s going to be an incredible event on so many levels -- a true collaboration. Please support us in any way you can!
All best-
Kim Triedman (with Jim Henle)
