Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project
Overview

Celebrate the culmination of National Poetry Month with an event co-sponsored by the Mercantile Library and The Hive Cincinnati! Please join our screening and discussion of Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project directed by Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson (2024, 102 minutes).

In this documentary, which highlights the life of this legendary and award-winning poet, educator, and activist, “Giovanni reckons with the inevitable passing of time in intimate vérité and revealing archival footage. The film is a collision of memories, moments in American history, live readings, and visually innovative treatments of her poetry.

Light refreshments will be served.

The event is FREE. Registration requested by April 26 as space is limited.
