About the Event

Join us at 5:30pm on Thursday October 5 for a poetry reading in the gardens of the Peter Bullough Foundation with poet, executive director of 1455 Literary Arts, and author of Rhapsodies in Blue, Sean Murphy. Following his first collection The Blackened Blues, his latest is the second installment of a large and ongoing project exploring America through a series of poems that function as biography, history, and cultural commentary. The work honors a variety of artistic icons, some well-known, others unjustly obscure, and seeks to capture something essential about their lives, bearing witness while paying homage. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free thanks to the gracious sponsorship of First Bank and the Marion Park Lewis Foundation for the Arts, but we do ask that you please RSVP!

Murphy's books are available to purchase here.
