BLR & Writers Read Present Body Language: True Stories of Illness, Recovery, and Discovery
****Well… the blizzard has spoken! At BLR, we like to write about illness, but we don’t want to cause any. So out of an abundance of caution—and a deep respect for snowdrifts and black ice—we’re postponing tomorrow’s event at City Winery. We were so excited to kick off BLR’s 25th anniversary to a sold-out house, but there’s already a state of emergency in all five boroughs of New York City, so we want to put everyone’s safety and warmth come first.
The good news? The conversation, community, and connection will simply be a little more well-rested when we reconvene. We’ll be in touch as soon as we have a new date.****
City Winery, Writers Read & Bellevue Literary Review present Body Language: True Stories of Illness, Recovery, and Discovery. Date TBD
This special collaboration marks Bellevue Literary Review’s 25th anniversary year. Join us for an entertaining afternoon as talented writers from across the country take 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 is raw, cathartic, and surprisingly funny—original stories presented by a cast of writers who prove that even in our most vulnerable moments, we possess an undeniable resilience.
Relax and enjoy the afternoon with us! While writers share their tales, you can share food and wine at your table with friends. Reception follows. Doors open 12:00 for lunch.
