Join HumanitiesDC and guest curators Regie Cabico and Kim Roberts for our June Culture Series — Vital Signs: DC and the Poetry of AIDS. The event will include a powerful exploration of three groundbreaking poets — Essex Hemphill, Tim Dlugos, and Reinaldo Arenas — each of whom shaped the city’s literary landscape before their lives were cut short by AIDS. The event will also feature a panel discussion with Christopher Prince, Terence Winch, and Dan Vera. 🗓Thursday, June 26th 7 PM, MLK Library Register at the link in our bio. #humanitiesdc #cultureseries #aids #pride #poetry (fb)
