July 27, 2016 at the Boston Athenæum.

Visual objects have often been a source of inspiration to writers. In Writers at the Exhibition, three Athenæum authors will select an object from the current exhibition, Collecting for the Boston Athenæum in the 21st Century: Prints & Photographs, and present a poem, a memoir, or a story. This event will illustrate how writers of all types are inspired by the Boston Athenæum’s special collections.
