Yo-Yo Ma appears in documents related to "Poetry in America," an educational series created by Elisa New at Harvard. He was a guest participant alongside politicians, artists, and cultural figures.
Yo-Yo Ma is mentioned exclusively in the context of "Poetry in America," a Harvard-based educational poetry series that appears in correspondence found in the documents. He is listed among high-profile guests including Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Cynthia Nixon, and Frank Gehry who participated in episodes exploring American poetry. The mentions span planning documents and pitch materials for the series, where Ma is noted as filming an episode on Emily Dickinson's "I cannot dance upon my Toes" at locations including the Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst. His presence reflects his role as a cultural ambassador and educator rather than any personal connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
