Dozens of prominent poets, including a former U.S. poet laureate, will commandeer the courtyard of the Boston Public Library on Thursday.
BOSTON - Boston's about to bust a rhyme.
Dozens of prominent poets, including a former U.S. poet laureate, will commandeer the courtyard of the Boston Public Library on Thursday to read aloud from the city's first anthology of poetry.
Organizers have dubbed the collection "City of Notions," a reference to a nickname that Boston earned in the early 19th century for being a font of innovation and ideas.
