JFK Library: An Evening of Poetry with former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins

Kennedy Library Forum

New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins celebrates the unique bond between humans and dogs with his forthcoming poetry collection, Dog Show. Join the Library for a special conversation in which Collins uses his insight, wit, and clear poetic voice to distill the many ways dogs warm our hearts and reveal the profound role these majestic animals play in our lives and the meaning they give us. Jared Bowen, Executive Arts Editor and Host at GBH, moderates.

This program complements the Kennedy Library’s special exhibit Presidential Pets, which will be open free of charge from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Food and drink options will be available for purchase in the Cafe, and the Museum Store will be open.
