The Hoboken Historical Museum and Poet-in-Residence Danny Shot are proud to host The Americans – NJ Immigrant Poets. This literary event will take place on Sunday, December 3 at 4pm at the Hoboken Historical Museum, located at 1301 Hudson Street. The event is free and open to the public. It will also be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook @HobokenMuseum. 

Drawing inspiration from Robert Frank’s iconic book of photographs The Americans (1958) we explore what it means to be immigrants in 21st Century United States. Four outstanding poets: Grisel Y. Acosta, Marina Carreira, Mark Faunlaugi, and Megha Sood, all immigrants or first-generation Americans, will share their experiences living in New Jersey. Fittingly, the first photo in The Americans is “Parade – Hoboken.” This event will be hosted by Poet-in-Residence Danny Shot, himself the child of immigrants.
