Literary Lunch Break at Faneuil Hall Marketplace: Boston Poet Laureate Danielle Georges

Boston Poet Laureate Danielle Legros Georges is tasked with raising the status of poetry in the everyday consciousness of Bostonians, acting as an advocate for poetry, language, and the arts. What better place to be raising that status than right past the PULSE Cafe in the Quincy Market section of Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Come hear her and Carpenter Poets Joe Bergin and Bill Thibodeau entertain with poetry. You won’t be sorry. The poems of Danielle — a truly likable, approachable person — have appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies and even in her own book, Maroon. She has also received awards for her work such as a recent Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship in Poetry. Bergin — also a terrific person — has been cited for his poetry by Mayor Menino. And Bill (we haven’t met him yet but bet he’s nice, too) has appeared on both PBS and The Poetry Channel. His poems are part of the high school curriculum in Quincy.
