Propelled by their deep and abiding friendship, Sarah Kay, Clint Smith, Anis Mojgani, and Hanif Abdurraqib have performed a reading together annually for the past nine years. After their massively popular engagements during the last two seasons of I Guess It Was My Destiny To Live So Long at BAM, Stones in the Water returns for its tenth performance of inspiring poetic expression. Year after year, this profoundly intimate offering continues to create a space for both artists and audiences to see how care, camaraderie, and mutual regard can fortify and amplify artistic practices.
