This coming Sunday marks the 20th installment of the Sunday Poetry & Reading Series (which falls on the Winter Solstice this month). In the lifetime of the series so far, more than 30 poets and writers–nearly all of them from Pittsburgh–have graced the microphone and ears in the Quiet Reading Room.
Our next featured writer, Angele Ellis, reads this Sunday, December 21st at 2:oo pm. Angele Ellis is the author of Arab on Radar, described in Pittsburgh City Paper as “invitingly angular verse…at once passionate and slyly funny,” and a 2008 recipient of a fellowship from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
In celebration of these past featured writers and in anticipation of the many fine words to come, here’s some weekend leisure reading: selections from SP&RS guests either on the noble shelves of the library or in their nooks and haunts on the web. Enjoy!
