We are pleased to announce the Cave Canem 25th Anniversary Reunion! Each June since 2010, City of Asylum has been home to Cave Canem's annual reading. Now audiences can experience a video collage of past readings highlighting and honoring the rich diversity of poets who have taught at the retreat, celebrating the treasured alliance of both organizations from the first five years of their partnership (2010-2014).
This year we continue the tradition with performance highlights from acclaimed poets Colleen McElroy, Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Angela Jackson, Toi Derricotte, Cornelius Eady and Tim Seibles. This virtual gathering launches a yearlong celebration of Cave Canem's rich history and is modeled after the Cave Canem Retreat, their long-standing flagship program.
