In fall of 2018—from September through November—three poets will act as Poets in Residence at the galleries in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The workshops will take place on Wednesday evenings, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (On Wednesday nights after 4 p.m., admission is by voluntary contribution). The workshops are designed to be drop-in (although you can stay for the whole time if you like!) No poetry experience is required.
Once you write a poem based on the exhibit, you can submit it here. It might be featured online (on the Mass Poetry or MFA website), chosen as a Poem of the Moment by Mass Poetry, or excerpted for a Raining Poetry installation!
Regie Gibson will lead a workshop at the "French Pastels" exhibit on September 5, 12, 19, and 26.
Kathi Aguero will lead a workshop at the "Shelf Life" exhibit on October 3, 10, 17, and 24.
Krysten Hill will lead a workshop at the "Cecilia Vicuña: Disappeared Quipu" exhibit on October 31, and November 7, 14, and 28.
