Mon, Sept. 4: Dinner w/ Poet Porsha Olayiwola at CK

3-course meal & mini-lecture

Date: Monday, September 4
Time: 5:00-7:00pm
Tickets: $15
Location: Comfort Kitchen, 611 Columbia Road, Dorchester

In partnership with Comfort Kitchen, this event presents a 3-course meal that is inspired by the life, times, and most importantly, the pleasures of the poet Wheatley-Peters.

Accompanied by a meal introduction from the Chefs at Comfort Kitchen and a mini lecture from the poet laureate of the City of Boston, Porsha Olayiwola this immersive experience combines the poetics with the culinary arts.

Often, the poetic work and oppression of the writer Phillis Wheatley-Peters is what feels most prominently remembered.

And while that is significant to our understanding of Phillis Wheatley Peters and her work, we overlook that Wheatley was a full human being. This particular event seeks to engage with the things that brought Phillis joy.
