The Poetry Society of America's Annual Spring Benefit

May 26, 2016

On Tuesday, May 24th, old friends and new gathered at the New York Botanical Garden to raise a glass to celebrate and honor Billy Collins and Laura Baudo Sillerman.

From the magnificent show Impressionism: American Gardens on Canvas, to "Cloud-Ruffled Collins" cocktails in the fragrant conservatory, to dinner with the legendary Garrison Keillor, and tributes from Robert Sillerman and Laurie David, it was an evening to remember.
