An Evening with Christian Bancroft, Niki Herd & Dino Enrique Piacentini

April 25, 2026 | 6:00 pm EST

Join us for an evening of readings as Christian Bancroft, Niki Herd, and Dino Enrique Piacentini share their work.

Bancroft will read from his debut book of poetry, A Ghost Has No Fantasies. Through haunting poetry and prose, A Ghost Has No Fantasies illuminates the forgotten voices of LGBTQ+ individuals who suffered under Nazi persecution. Drawing from archival documents, survivor testimonies, and Gestapo files, Christian Bancroft weaves together the intimate stories of those imprisoned under Paragraph 175 and beyond — gay men, lesbians, and transgender individuals whose experiences have long remained in the shadows of Holocaust memory.

Blacksmith House Poetry Series Featuring Jennifer Clarvoe & Maggie Dietz

April 27, 2026 | 8:00 pm EST

Blacksmith House Poetry Series

Blacksmith House Poetry Series welcomes Jennifer Clarvoe who will read from her new collection of poetry, PIANO PIANO, with Maggie Dietz reading from her new book, If You Would Let Me.

Founded in 1973, the award-winning Blacksmith House Poetry Series brings established and emerging writers of poetry and fiction to Harvard Square. Admission is $5, tickets are available at the door.

In PIANO PIANO Clarvoe crafts a luminous meditation on time, loss, and the enduring power of art to transform grief into grace. These poems move with the deliberate tempo their title suggests — piano piano, slowly, gently — through landscapes both intimate and archaeological, from a father’s final breaths to ancient curse tablets unearthed in Turkish soil.
