Evangeline and Her Sisters: Poetry Reading

In a poetic celebration of Longfellow's heroine, Louisiana poets Darrell Bourque and Melissa Bonin will present a special poetry reading at the West Baton Rouge Museum, exploring the many poetic variants of Evangeline. Louisiana's history is filled with women who exemplify the virtues of the migration's great figure, portrayed throughout literature, and expressed today—as is appropriate—in verse. The event accompanies the museum's current exhibition Evangeline: Evolution of an Icon, and is free and open to the public. 2 pm. westbatonrougemuseum.org.
