The Nashua Public Library is excited to partner with Black Heritage Trail NH for a virtual winter poetry series, “Black Matter Is Life: Poetry for Engagement and Overcoming.” This is the third event in the series. It will include a poem written by community members in Greater Nashua, and a special guest, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Jericho Brown.

Join this conversation about how African American poetry sheds light on our nation’s past and present, and on how we might imagine our nation’s future. The series is hosted by UNH Professors Dennis Britton and Reginald Willard. The theme of the January 21 event is “Love, Love, Love.”
