Poetry at Late Night

Poetry at Late Night is for everyone. Not just English majors. Not just people into art. Poetry at late night features poetry that is inspired by art. That is the only requirement, that it come from some piece of art - a painting, a movie, etc. We want to create a creative atmosphere where, hopefully, a piece of poetry realigns someone's view of an art work and vice-versa. We welcome everyone. Don't be afraid of speaking in public. Don't be afraid of being judged. We love you already.

Poetry at Late Night is runs through the academic year at 7:30pm in the twentieth century galleries.
