  Sweetbitter: The Literary Legacies and Afterlives of Sappho

  Recurring

  All Day

  Main Library Room 346

  The ancient poet Sappho coined "sweetbitter" in one of her most evocative verses, still striking us to the heart nearly three millennia later. As with so many ancient figures, the poet is more legend than person today, her story told and retold even as her poetry continues to enchant and move. This exhibit will be on display through mid-August 2026.
