Following the event, poems and archival items will be placed on display on the 3rd Floor of the Central Library for others to read and admire.

Shann Ray will read a poem based on an image from the 1922 edition of The Drawings and Engravings of William Blake, edited by Laurence Binyon. Laura Read will read a poem inspired by a 1665 edition of The Discovery of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot.
Other featured readers include Asyia Gover, Tim Greenup, Kate Lebo, Shraya Singh, and Maya Jewell Zeller.
