Grand finale of Summer Nights with m.s. RedCherries, Danez Smith, and Speedy Ortiz, where poetry meets music outdoors in Battery Park City. Under the sun in Wagner Park, dance along to musical performances intertwining Speedy’s indie rock riffs with readings from acclaimed poet Danez Smith and National Book Award finalist m.s. RedCherries—the ultimate catharsis in rhythm and rhyme. Poet, author, and performance artist Brad Walrond will be the MC for this event.
