We close our series of 2021 Festival highlights with LeVar Burton, host of “Open a Book, Open the World: The Library of Congress National Book Festival." And we look forward to seeing you at the Washington Convention Center for the 2022 National Book Festival!
This week we highlight our poetry programs from the 2021 Festival, including conversations with Nikki Giovanni ("Make Me Rain"); francine j. harris ("Here Is the Sweet Hand") and Patrick Rosal ("The Last Thing"); and Claudia Rankine ("Just Us"), Phillip B. Williams ("Mutiny") and Kevin Young ("African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle & Song").
