Gertrude Stein, Patriarchal Poetry And More — Free Reading Group with Evelyn Reilly

Event Details: Thursday, November 3, 2016, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Parish Hall, St. Mark’s Church (131 E 10th St, New York, NY 10003) 5 Sessions - 11/3, 11/10, 11/17, 12/1, 12/8

In this reading group we will aspire to be “continuously present” for a series of conversations based on Gertrude Stein: Selections, edited by Joan Retallack. By engaging with some of Stein’s most radical language experiments, we’ll explore how they might influence our own writing and thinking about word, world, “ordinary” language and the writing of experience that is also a form of lived experience.

To register for this reading group, email Laura at lh@poetryproject.org. Capacity is 15. This reading group is now full. To be added to the waitlist, email Laura at lh@poetryproject.org.

BYOB! (Bring your own book).
