Celebrating National Poetry Month with Mark Morris
National Poetry Month is a marvelous opportunity to celebrate the expressiveness, delight, and pure charm of poetry. Watch Mark Morris read two poems, as part of this annual occasion that reminds us of the integral role of poets and poetry in our cultures.
The House That Jack Built Seeing Into Tomorrow
Poet unknown Richard Wright
| Mark Morris reads the classic English Nursery Rhyme. | Seeing Into Tomorrow transforms short poems by Richard Wright into large-scale installations, turning Brooklyn walls into sites of inspired language, sparkling wonder, and new connections. The project commemorates the achievements of a major Black writer, who lived on Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene in the 1930s, while also inspiring residents and visitors alike to “read” the city in new ways. |
