Emily Dickinson is a major influence on Roni Horn's art, so it is only fitting that the poem featured on the Hassenfeld Harborway this spring is Dickinson’s "I’m Nobody! Who Are You?". The first line of the poem became Horn's sculpture, "Key and Cue No. 288." To mark the occasion, a group of today’s leading poets will gather to celebrate Dickinson’s work and share their own: Gail Mazur, Joyce Peseroff, David Rivard, and Rosanna Warren, and Lloyd Schwartz.

Although tattooing was first introduced to Bostonians in the 1840s, it was just 10 years ago that a Massachusetts ban on tattooing (except by medical physicians) was deemed unconstitutional by a Suffolk Superior Court judge. Helping to overthrow this ban was Sarah Wunsch, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. Join Wunsch and exhibition curator Pedro Alonzo for a look back at the commonwealth’s long and complicated history with this art form.

Edwards is Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Curator of Ornithology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.
