I Guess It Was My Destiny To Live So Long
I Guess It Was My Destiny To Live So Long
A poetry series honoring the legacy of June Jordan
Curated by Hanif Abdurraqib
Coinciding with election week, BAM Curator at Large and MacArthur Genius Hanif Abdurraqib programs a series of events and readings that invite Brooklyn to celebrate poetry’s power of possibility, bringing people together across lines of race, class, gender, age, and geography. Featuring a cross-generational constellation of artists showcasing work throughout BAM’s spaces, join us as we refract the political present through the prism of poetic expression.
