ABOUT THE EVENT

Join us for an intimate and inspiring evening with acclaimed poet Maggie Smith. This special event offers a rare opportunity to experience one of today’s most resonant literary voices in a thoughtful, community-centered setting.

As our annual fundraiser, this event plays a vital role in sustaining Sacred Threads, a community that strengthens women’s spiritual connections and sense of meaning across all life’s seasons through inclusive programs and a culture of compassion and support.

Your sponsorship helps ensure that we can continue offering welcoming, accessible programs that support women and the communities they lead, care for, and nurture, while also providing meaningful visibility with a thoughtful, values-driven audience.

Maggie Smith is the author of multiple award-winning books, including Good Bones, which was named one of the five best poetry books of 2017 by The Washington Post. Her work is widely known for its clarity, accessibility, and emotional depth. Her newest poetry collection, A Suit or a Suitcase, continues her exploration of themes such as resilience, identity, and personal transformation, offering language that resonates with readers navigating life’s transitions.

Award-winning journalist Lisa Hughes, news anchor for WBZ-TV, will open the evening. GBH Culture Show Contributor, Lisa Simmons, will moderate the conversation with Maggie.
