Dine & Rhyme is BOA's one-and-only annual fundraising event. This year will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Poulin Prize, named in honor of BOA's late founder, A. Poulin, Jr. The event will feature poetry readings and book signings from poets Chen Chen, Keetje Kuipers, and Geffrey Davis, and a celebratory video about the Poulin Prize.
Dine & Rhyme is a night to celebrate BOA's past, present, and future and to support the work that BOA is doing to diversify and expand the literary landscape. All Dine & Rhyme proceeds support BOA's mission to bring exceptional and essential works of literature to the public.
