Edgar Allan Poe Big Read Kickoff

 

Join us as we kickoff this year’s Big Read program with a publication party for Writers & Books’ Big Pencil Press edition of Nevermore: Prose and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe and enjoy the unique vocal work of Rochester’s own F’loom, a trio that draws freely from the highest and lowest in music and literature to produce an intensely seriocomic audiovisual experience, who will be presenting a new body of work based on the writings of Poe. We will also be holding a scavenger hunt as part of First Friday, with prizes! Visit five venues and have your card punched, then come to Writers & Books by 10:00pm to pick up your free copy of Nevermore: Prose and Poems. Find the raven or the gold bug and win a pair of tickets to our Masque of the Red Death Masquerade Ball at the Memorial Art Gallery on Oct. 30. This Big Read kickoff event is free and open to the public. For information on W&B events visit www.wab.org. For information about the monthly First Friday events visit www.firstfridayrochester.org.
