Favorite Poem Project Video Premiere

In over 20 years of documenting poetry’s role in the lives of Americans, the Favorite Poem Project has made video portraits of people reading poems they love in Washington DC, Florida, Chicago, and California. Now, working with the BU Office of the Provost, the BU Arts Initiative, and BU Productions, we have finally been able to bring our work home to our own community with ten new videos of staff, faculty, students, and distinguished visitors to BU’s campus. At this premiere, we will screen six of our new videos directed by filmmakers Roberto Mighty and Devin Hahn. We’ll also have select readers from the BU community reading favorite poems. Free and open to the public. Introduced by Robert Pinsky with a reception to follow.
