| Double Take 11 Wednesday, November 12, 2014 7 pm Organized by Bookforum Editor Albert Mobilio, Double Take is a unique reading series that asks award winning and emerging poets, novelists, editors, and artists to trade takes on shared experiences. Three pairs of authors trade takes on a shared experience. At a screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1964 film Marnie, Karen Schoemer and Laurie Stone tour the heady days of Freudian chic, when people seasoned conversations with the terms “frigid” and “kleptomaniac.” “Can I expound the skies?” Emily Dickinson once asked. Star Black and Joseph Donahue will look up, and do so. In the night woods of Maine, Sarah Braunstein and William Giraldi encounter the damage from a giant moose. Featuring: Star Black & Sarah Braunstein Joseph Donahue & William Giraldi Karen Schoemer & Laurie Stone |
