I would like to invite you to take part in a public reading event taking place on February 14th. Yes, it is on Valentine's Day and the theme that will tie everything together is love - but with a twist! We are looking for something beyond just the same old sickly sweet romance that we often find in the mass media. There are lots of kinds of love (parent-child, best friends, siblings, etc.) and love goes through many different stages (intimacy, frustration, hate, reconciliation, disappointment, etc.). The idea is to wrestle with some of these aspects of love. What will come out of it all? We'll just have to wait and see.Find a text that speaks to you of any of these manifestations of this powerful element of human experience and you can read it to an appreciative audience. The text can come from any source, from poems to exerpts from novels, from songs to non-fiction, from classic thinkers to original work!
We can also look at posting your texts on this blog so those who can't go to the reading will be able read these pearls of wisdom and beauty from the comfort of their homes.
