[#AALF2024] The Meena Alexander Reading Room

Join the Asian American Writers’ Workshop for an exhibition of the late poet Meena Alexander’s library, which was generously donated to the Workshop for its 30th anniversary. The reading room will include a curated display of titles by Meena Alexander, as well as books from her collection with original annotations, notes exchanged between friends and loved ones, rare and handmade texts, photos, and ephemera from decades of events.

The library will be on view on Sunday, September 15, between 12 pm and 3 pm ET, and Tuesday, September 17, between 12 pm and 6 pm ET.

To preserve the condition and integrity of the books, consumption of food and beverages is not permitted when viewing the collection.
