Join us for the A Quiet Word, a community silent reading experience, a blending of literature, music, and conversation. Bring your favorite book, or just what you’re reading now. Hard copy preferred; Nook or Kindle are fine (but no audiobooks). We’ll have some banned books on hand for you to choose from.

Then immerse yourself in two 20-minute silent reading sessions with intermittent 10-minute breaks to share your literary discoveries and insights one-on-one with fellow book enthusiasts. Throughout the evening, groove to “Jimmy’s Playlist,” a curated selection of music that influenced James Baldwin’s life and writing.

Host: Isisara Bey, Artistic Director, March On
Ticket Price: Free with RSVP
