Default Frost in San Diego (150th birthday festivities)

I'm posting this in case anyone wants to come to San Diego later this month.

https://robertfrostsociety.org/150years/

Since 2019, the San Diego Public Library has been the repository of the archives of the Robert Frost Society. Headliners for the Society's March 20 – March 25 celebration of Frost's 150th birthday include Allison Joseph, David Yezzi, Amit Majmudar, Dana Gioia, and Tracy K. Smith.

All events are free and open to the public, but space is very limited. (Some activities can only accept 12 participants.)

Join the Robert Frost Society and the Library Foundation San Diego for five days of poetry workshops, talks, and readings to celebrate the 150th birthday of Robert Frost, born March 26, 1874.

Morning events (Workshops and Roundtables) will be held at UC San Diego's Park and Market at 1100 Market Street. Afternoon and evening events (Keynote Talks, Lectures, and Readings) will be held at the San Diego Central Library at 330 Park Boulevard.

The Sesquicentennial will kick off on Wednesday with a catered reception. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, participants are invited to register for a Poetry Workshop and/or a Poetry Roundtable, to be held at UC San Diego's Park and Market. Each Workshop and Roundtable spans all three days and will be led by distinguished poets and scholars. The Workshops are capped at 12 registered participants, each of whom must be at least 18 years of age. The Roundtables are capped at 22 or 30 registered participants, depending on the location. In the afternoon, we will move to the San Diego Central Library for a series of lectures, readings, and book signings. Sunday will close with two special events honoring Frost.
