Spring 2025: Power Lines

Poetry Foundation’s Spring 2025 season takes as its theme: lineage as a source of collective power. Power lines run through our veins, an energetic current connecting us to the past, fueling us towards the futures of our imaginations. Regenerate with us.

Celebrate The Ghost Forest: New and Selected Poems, a retrospective collection by Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize recipient, Kimiko Hahn. Hahn will read alongside three recent Poetry contributors who have new books: Sarah Ghazal Ali (Theophanies), Mónica de la Torre (Pause the Document), and Rosalie Moffett (Making a Living). Through formal experimentation and imaginative metaphors, these four women poets texture daily life with existential mystery.This event is part of the Poetry Foundation’s spring 2025 season, Power Lines.  Additional Information<ul><li>All Poetry Foundation events are completely free of charge and open to the public.</li><li>Advanced registration is encouraged.</li><li>The performance space is ADA-compliant and wheelchair-accessible.</li><li>The program will feature CART captioning and ASL interpretation.</li></ul>For more information about accessibility at the Poetry Foundation, <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/visit/accessibility" title="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/visit/accessibility" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">please visit our Accessibility Guide</a>.
