The release of a new music and poetry CD this fall is cause for celebration, and anyone familiar with UMass Boston will feel right at home.
Admission is free, and a party follows the concert.
The evening's performances will also include a remembrance of the poet by his niece, Amy Merrill. There's a UMass Boston family connection here, as well, because her father and James Merrill's brother, Charles Merrill, Jr, has long been an important friend of the University, who has supported foreign students taking their year abroad at UMass Boston for the last two years, served as a guest lecturer, and donated numerous gifts of art to the campus.
