Honoring Grace Paley

A special celebration of the life and writing of our dear friend...

Postponed until January 20 (from 12/9) due to the snow storm. We have started a new reservation list.

Grace Paley was born on December 11, 1922 and we mark the date with readings of her poetry and stories. Grace gave much to our community and the society at large with her powerful use of words. She was wise and witty, tough and gentle, humble and strong - all at the same time.

Come hear a selection of her work read by members of her family and a few chosen friends.

(Reservations recommended.)
