At the Louvre: Poems by 100 Contemporary World Poets

October 30, 2024
6:00pm

A unique collaboration between New York Review Books and the Louvre Museum, At the Louvre presents a hundred poems, newly commissioned exclusively for this volume, by a hundred of the world’s most vibrant poets. They write about works from the museum’s collection. They write about the museum and its history. They write what they see and feel, and together they take us on a tour of the museum and its galleries like no other, one that is an irresistible feast for the ear and mind and eye.

In partnership with the NYRB and Villa Albertine, American Friends of the Louvre is thrilled to invite you all to this program, during which several contributors will recite their poems before participating in a panel discussion moderated by Edwin Frank, Editorial Director of the New York Review of Books.

This event will be free and open to the public.
