Conversations with Dead Poets • A Panel Discussion

Join Millay House Rockland for an evening where we call to poets of the past. Contemporary writers will speak to their relationships with poets from earlier eras. Each poet left a significant mark on American culture, and we will explore, interrogate, celebrate, and creatively respond to their indelible poems.

This conversation between four living writers and four who have “shuffled off this mortal coil” includes Maine’s Poet Laureate Julia Bouwsma on Edna St. Vincent Millay; Rosa Lane on Emily Dickinson; Samaa Abdurraqib on June Jordan; and A. O. Scott on Thom Gunn.

This event will be hosted at Arctic Tern Books & Sanctuary in their new event space at 434 Main Street in Rockland.

This event is FREE in-person. If you’re not local, we will be live streaming the event on Zoom for a $25 fee.
