Come join us at 21c Museum Hotel, a short walk from the Kansas City Convention Center, for a dynamic reading of poetry that crosses fields of nurturance, crisis, connection, catastrophe, hope. Twenty poet moms, drawing from a variety of poetic practices and traditions, will share work that occupies the overlapping spaces of our lives—war zone and garden, city and body, climate and house, populace and child. Readers include Tess Taylor, Iris Jamahl Dunkle, Keetje Kuipers, Nicole Callihan, Julia Kolchinsky Dasbach, among others.

Cash bar opens at 5:30 p.m. in Gallery One, reading starts at 6:00 p.m. in Main Gallery.
