“Hail bounteous May that dost inspire, Mirth and youth, and warm desire . . .” The Poetry Society of America holds its Spring Benefit, Tuesday, May 20 at the New York Botanical Garden

Unnamed
On Tuesday, May 20, beginning at 6:00 pm (4:30 for those departing by special bus from Manhattan), the Poetry Society of America welcomes the season with its annual Spring Benefit Dinner. This year you can head up to the New York Botanical Garden for a private tour of the Garden's major spring/summer exhibition Groundbreakers: Great American Gardens and The Women Who Designed Them. With a stunning evocation of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Maine, and exhibits highlighting the rich and artful history of some of the gardening world's most significant innovators, Jill headshotthe Garden celebrates the women who pioneered landscape and garden design, writing, and photography during the early 20th century.

The tour will be followed by a dinner to celebrate a groundbreaking woman in our own field: Jill Bialosky —poet, novelist, memoirist, and Executive Editor at W.W. Norton & Company—for her distinguished contribution to the landscape of poetry.
