As part of the Albany Reads series, community members of all ages are invited to gather for an afternoon of shared poetry inspired by themes of Love, Imprisonment, and Protest. Community Members are welcome to read their own original work or share a poem written by another that speaks to these powerful experiences.

This program is part of the Albany Reads series, bringing the Library’s community together around The Poet and the Silk Girl: A Memoir of Love, Imprisonment, and Protest by Satsuki Ina. Through shared reading and related events, we reflect on history, foster dialogue, and connect past injustices to present-day conversations about civil liberties and belonging.
