Poetry in the Garden: Kimberly M. Blaeser, Natasha Gambrell, Denise Low

Declarations 2025–Indigenous Voices

July 7, 2025 | 7 p.m.
Walled Garden
Free

A past Poetry in the Garden event at the Keeler Tavern Museum. Guests sitting in lawn chairs with poet at microphone sharing their work.

Commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with “Poetry in the Garden: Declarations 2025.” Each Monday evening in July, nationally acclaimed poets will share works that explore how historically marginalized groups have been denied the Declaration of Independence’s promise of equality and inalienable rights.

On July 7, we welcome the voices of three Indigenous poets to the ancestral homelands of the Ramapough, Munsee Lenape, and Wiechquaesgeck people: Kimberly Blaeser, Natasha Gambrell, and Denise Lowe. The evening will also include a performance of Eastern Pequot Tribal dance. A Q&A session and book signing will follow.

Free for all! Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy the readings, held in KTM&HC’s beautiful walled garden. A Q&A session will follow each reading; poets’ books will be available for signing. In the event of inclement weather, the reading will move inside the Garden House.

Read the biographies of Kimberly Blaeser, Natasha Gambrell, and Denise Lowe.
