Saturday, Nov 10th, 2pm at the Richmondtown Branch Library, 200 Clarke Ave, SINY 10306

For this special event in our “Pretty Monsters” series for The Big Read, we’ll read sections of the short story “The Wrong Grave” alongside poetry by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal, poets and lovers whose macabre true-life story serves as inspiration for Kelly Link’s short story.
Dr. Marguerite Maria Rivas, poet and CUNY professor, will tell the story of the worm-eaten poems, the painter and his muse, and other-worldly tresses.
We’ll conclude by sketching our own monsters.
Book giveaway, while supplies last.
