SUMMARY:How to Read a Book of Poetry with Lily Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever felt like you don’t “get” poetry\, this event is for you—poems require a special kind of engagement that’s more akin to classical music-listening than novel-reading\, and works best read aloud in community as opposed to quietly alone. So\, we’re creating this experience for you. \nJoin Big Red Books and All Ways Writing Collective in which we will read aloud together Valzhyna Mort’s Music for the Dead and Resurrected\, using intuitive forms of engagement to better hear and appreciate the art at hand. \nThe program is free; all you need to do to register is purchase Music for the Dead and Resurrected from Big Red Books and receive 15% off. Please RSVP.
