Join us for a reading on the occasion of the Poetry Foundation’s unveiling of CAConrad’s large-scale poem mural in our space, the first installment of Bold Type, the Poetry Foundation’s new exhibition series that transforms the central gallery wall into a vibrant design canvas for poetry.
2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize recipient CAConrad is joined by fellow readers Rickey Laurentiis (author of Death of the First Idea), Jake Skeets (author of Horses), and Chicago poet S Yarberry (author of A Boy in the City).
This event is part of the Poetry Foundation’s spring 2026 season, No One Can Afford To Lose Love.
