This special evening of poetry presented by Alice James Books commemorates America’s 250th anniversary by spotlighting the often-overlooked figures of the founding era. Poets Andrés Cerpa, Shara McCallum, and Mihaela Moscaliuc will read from their own work alongside historical texts by lesser-known figures of the American Revolution and early republic. The evening concludes with a participatory activity, where audience members are invited to create their own erasure poems using provided excerpts
