You might have noticed the exciting Concrete Poetry 2 Sculpture in the gardens behind the Ivy-- that elegant, interactive concrete alphabet where phrases inspiring and joyful live and change.The sculpture is the work of Baltimore artist Julia Kim Smith, and now, we bring the sculpture to life with a reading in celebration of National Poetry Month. Join us on April 18th to sit near the sculpture and hear poetry from Baltimore poet David Beaudouin. Refreshments will follow the reading.David Beaudouin, native to Baltimore, MD, is a widely published poet and performer. He was the founder of Tropos Press, one of the region’s earliest and most respected alternative literary presses, as well as THE PEARL, a Baltimore journal of the literary and “spontaneous” arts. A new collection, On Down the Line (UnCollected Press) is forthcoming in 2025. His poem “Annunciation” was selected for inclusion in Scribner’s The Best American Poetry 2025.
