The Green Room

U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limon in The Green Room

Tuesday, December 13th, 6:30pm
Washington Place
Honolulu

After nearly three years we are returning to Honolulu with a very special Green Room.

On Tuesday, December 13th, we’ll come together for an evening of poetry and conversation with poet Ada Limón, 24th Poet Laureate of the United States. We will gather in downtown Honolulu, on the open-air Green Lanai at Washington Place, the former residence of Hawaiʻi’s last reigning monarch, Queen Liliʻuokalani. Maui-born Kanaka ‘Ōiwi poet, author, and scholar Brandy Nālani McDougall will welcome the Poet Laureate with a short poetry reading, with Ms. Limónʻs reading to follow. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. 

Register early; these tickets are expected to go quickly.

The Merwin Conservancy is grateful to Jeanne Herbert and the Kīpuka Fund for generously hosting this event.
