The Well
In April 2023, poets and poetry lovers from around the world celebrated National Poetry Month with Mindful Poetry Moments, a program of The Well. Over four weeks we gathered virtually to listen, contemplate and respond to five selections, curated by Cincinnati & Mercantile Library Poet Laureate Yalie Saweda Kamara and the Inaugural Cincinnati Youth Poet Laureate Rimel Kamran, with special guest poetry and mindfulness facilitators. The virtual gatherings were co-presented with The Hive, The Mercantile Library, and WordPlay Cincy with funding from Puffin Foundation West.
