Cave Canem & Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 5th Ave, New York, NY 10128

Join us for a reading with poet, writer, librettist, performer, and multi-media poetry maker, Samiya Bashir, as she presents poets from our New York City Regional Workshop, Poets as Deep Thinkers. Readers will share works that move in conversation with A Poem for Deep Thinkers—both Amiri Baraka’s razor-sharp 1961 poem and Rashid Johnson’s immersive Guggenheim installation.

This event is hosted in partnership with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and its current exhibition, Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers, featuring almost 90 works from the artist’s 30-year career.
