A Poetic Celebration of Reggae

The O.B. Hardison Poetry Series at the Folger celebrates reggae music and pays tribute to one of its most acclaimed songwriters, Robert “Bob” Nestor Marley, the day before what would have been his 73rd birthday. Award-winning poets Kwame Dawes and Safiya Sinclair will read poetry from select reggae songs as well as their own works. A reception with book-signing will follow.
