In celebration of Mother's Day, the Library for the Performing Arts is delighted to present an interactive afternoon of poetry reading, dance, and conversation with writer and actor Nandana Sen, and dancer and choreographer Preeti Vasudevan.

Nandana Sen will read selections from poet Nabaneeta Dev Sen’s Acrobat, her radiant collection of poetry about womanhood, intimacy, and the body politic that together evokes the arc of an ordinary life. Dev Sen's rhythmic lines explore the contours of first love, motherhood, loss and decay with a restless, tactile imagination, both picking apart and celebrating the rituals that make us human. Translated by her daughter Nandana Sen, these poems are at once compassionate and unsparing, conversational, and symphonic.

Please join us with your families on what promises to be a very special Saturday afternoon.
