Literary Philadelphia--Mark Your Calendars!

Please mark your calendars for two upcoming opportunities for Literary Philadelphia

April 4:
  • Marianne Moore and H.D. both attended Bryn Mawr College at the end of the 19th-century. Moore majored in biology and H.D. left early to pursue her writing (and Ezra Pound). Both became influential poets in the Imagist and Modernist movements, and editors of prominent literary journals.  In this performance, actresses Tori Moratelli and Taylor Cawley, will interpret H.D’s story Aegina and Moore’s controversial poem Marriage as well as a selection of their transatlantic correspondence. The performance will be followed by a panel discussion led by scholar Demetres Tryphonopoulos of the University of New Brunswick, CA, with Poets Jane Augustine and Cindy King, and the Rosenbach's Librarian Elizabeth Fuller. (More information and RSVP to the Rosenback here).

April 18: **Notice to Charles Dickens researchers and others who are interested: Eastern State Penitentiary is one of the primary sites that Dickens wrote about during his visits to Philadelphia
  • IH is organizing a screening of the film, 12 Monkeys, at Eastern State on the evening of Thursday, April 18. There will be prison tours starting at 7pm, and then the film (with snacks and stuff), very likely with an introduction by an actor or two in the film.  You will need to RVSP to me via email to secure a place.
