Is your mom best represented by “To My Mother” by Edgar Allan Poe, “The Joy Luck Club” by Amy Tan, or “The Runaway Bunny” by Margaret Wise Brown—or perhaps something more contemporary like “Remember” by Joy Harjo or “Good Bones” by Maggie Smith?
Join us Monday, May 11, for a special post–Mother’s Day Muse dedicated to honoring the mothers and caregivers who shape and nurture our lives. Guests are invited to share out loud a short poem, story, or passage (1–3 minutes) in gratitude or remembrance, in a warm and family-friendly setting. Bring your favorite text or one you penned yourself. Led by Niria Leyva-Gutiérrez, this heartfelt evening will celebrate love, memory, and connection—complete with sweet treats, just like mom used to make.
The Muse is a monthly program dedicated to celebrating inspiration, the arts, and community. It brings together open-minded artists and art lovers to explore the many ways inspiration, or The Muse, elevates our daily lives. Through shared human experiences, creative expression, and a deep love for the arts, we reflect on life’s biggest questions, uncovering new meaning in the world around us.
