Marilyn Nelson reads from her latest book, "My Seneca Village" 12/10 at 5
Please join us on Thursday December 10th at 5:00pm for an afternoon of poetry with Marilyn Nelson as she reads from her latest book, “My Seneca Village”. The book takes us back to a place we now call Central Park in New York City. It was once a village.
Join us for tea and poetry on a chilly afternoon- not to be missed.
From the publisher:
“Poetry illustrated in the poet’s own words–with brief prose descriptions of what she sees inside her work–this … collection takes readers back in time and deep into the mind’s eye of Marilyn Nelson … [who] draws upon history, and her … imagination, to revive the long lost community of Seneca Village”
