Commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with Poetry in the Garden’s fifth season. Each Monday evening in July, nationally acclaimed poets will share works that explore how historically oppressed communities have been denied the Declaration of Independence’s promised “inalienable rights.”
On July 7, Poetry in the Garden: Voices from Marginalized America welcomes the voices of three Indigenous poets to the ancestral homelands of the Ramapough, Munsee Lenape, and Wiechquaesgeck people: Kimberly Blaeser, Natasha Gambrell, and Denise Lowe. The evening will also include a performance of Eastern Pequot traditional dance. Poets’ books will be available for signing.
Free for all! Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy the readings, held in KTM&HC’s beautiful walled garden. In the event of inclement weather, the reading will move inside the Garden House. Ample parking on-site.
Poetry in the Garden 2025 is generously supported by Ridgefield Library, Books on the Common, The Fountain Inn, A.C.T. of Connecticut, and the Manhattanville University MFA in Creative Writing.
