M.E.S.A. (Museum Enrichment Series for All) featuring Enzo Silon Surin

Join Lynn Museum/LynnArts on the second Wednesday of each month at noon for M.E.S.A. (Museum Enrichment Series for All). This virtual lecture series will cover wellness, genealogy, and current events and hear from local experts, community members, Museum staff, and others.

Join Enzo Silon Surin, poet, librettist, educator, publisher, and social advocate, as he reads from his award-winning poetry collection When My Body Was A Clinched Fist (2020) and his forthcoming collection American Scapegoat (Black Lawrence Press, May 2023), and discusses how poetry is used to inspire and liberate our hearts and minds.

The conversation will take place over Zoom and live-streamed on Facebook.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lynn Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
