Poets Debuting New Work Inspired by Tang Museum Art

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Thirteen local poets recently selected a piece of art at the Tang Museum’s All These Growing Things exhibition and wrote a poem about it. Those poems will be unveiled on Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m. in the Tang’s upstairs Molloy Gallery. 

Each poet will read their original poem next to the painting, sculpture, drawing, or photograph that inspired them. The poets and audience will travel around the gallery, moving from work to work and from poem to poem.

The event, part of the Laureate Poetry Series, is free and open to the public. 

Saratoga Springs Poet Laureate Jay Rogoff will host a roster of writers, including Nicola Marae Allain, Peg Boyers, Joseph Bruchac, Catherine Clarke, David Graham, Mary Kathryn Jablonski, Susan Jefts, Marilyn McCabe, Lucyna Prostko, Krista Rivera, Mary Sanders Shartle, and Melora Wolff.
