POSTPONED: Four Renowned Poets: With Voices Freed at Last

Four Renowned Poets Reawaken the Long-Silenced Voices of Connecticut's Enslaved

Inspired by the Witness Stones Old Lyme Project, which honors those once enslaved in their community by researching their histories and placing memorial plaques at the site of their servitude, four esteemed poets give voice to those long denied their humanity.

Join us in the historic Meetinghouse as Marilyn Nelson, Antoinette Brim-Bell, Kate Rushin, and Rhonda Ward share powerful poems depicting the lives of enslaved men, women, and children, reimagined from the research of historian Carolyn Wakeman.

The in-person option for this poetry event will take place at the Meetinghouse, Ridgefield Congregational Church on 605 Ridgebury Road, Ridgefield, CT.

This event is co-sponsored by Ridgefield Library, Keeler Tavern Museum and History Center, the Meetinghouse at Ridgefield Congregational Church, and Ridgefield Historical Society.
