SUMMARY:50th Anniversary Gala
DESCRIPTION:For half a century\, Boa Editions has amplified the voices that move\, challenge\, and inspire us. It’s a living chorus across generations that reminds us that poetry is a vital way of seeing\, of surviving\, of celebrating what makes us human. We belong to something larger: a community of voices that listen\, echo\, and lift one another. And so\, it’s time to celebrate together. On Saturday\, September 26th\, at 6 p.m. at Rochester Academy of Medicine\, Boa will be hosting our 50th anniversary gala. This year\, we’re thrilled to welcome not just one\, but two special guests: Naomi Shihab Nye (Sidekick) and Jenny Browne (I Am Trying to Love the Whole World). We will also be premiering our 50th anniversary documentary! Join us for live music\, powerful readings by Nye and Browne\, fine food by Julia K Caters\, complimentary beer and wine\, and a silent auction with items from local businesses and beyond.Tickets are available on our ticketing site!
