This free poetry reading is being presented in
conjunction with The Jewish Museum of New Jersey’s current exhibition, “Berlin – Shanghai – Newark:  The Odyssey and Art of John H. Less,” a
dramatic exhibition of paintings that primarily focuses on the artist’s life as
a German Holocaust refugee in Shanghai from 1940 to 1947.  Less vividly portrays his uprooting from a
culture in which he and his family believed themselves to be at home and secure
to their abrupt transformation into complete outsiders.  The exhibition begins with a reception on
Sunday, October 6, from 1 pm to 5 pm and will be open on Sundays through
December 15.  For further information
about the exhibition or JMNJ, visit:  www.jewishmuseumnj.org   

Time permitting; there will be an opportunity for Open Readings
