City Winery, Writers Read & Bellevue Literary Review host Body Language: True Stories of Illness, Recovery, and Discovery.

Bellevue Literary Review presented this special event as part of its 25th anniversary year. The afternoon saw a variety of entertainment as talented writers from across the country took the stage to present their true, personal, five-minute stories—literary work exploring the extraordinary demands placed upon the human body and mind.

Hosted by Dr. Danielle Ofri, Editor-in-Chief of BLR and Writers Read founder Edward McCann, this curated program of crafted narratives was raw, cathartic, and surprisingly funny—original stories were presented by a cast of writers who proved that even in our most vulnerable moments, we possess an undeniable resilience.
