The Brooklyn Lyceum continues its monthly literary event, First Sundays Writers Series, on December 6 with Vivian Cherry. Join them for the first Sunday of every month, as they have intimate readings with established and up-and-coming writers and more: poets, novelists, journalists, graphic novelists, photojournalists and non-fiction writers, among others. This will be a casual and cozy evening – hosted and curated by Susan Hartman, journalist and poet – as our guest reads, shows slides of her work, answers questions and signs copies of her book of collected photographs.
Since trees have grown here and there have been Betty Smiths to tell of it, Brooklyn has been a hub of literary voices, and in recent years, however, Park Slope especially has become a haven for New York writers who find their pens’ stride among the coffeeshops and old brownstones. The old Bathhouse, with its ideal Park Slope location and its growing contribution to the arts in Brooklyn, is the perfect host venue. Come relax with some wine, beer or coffee, and engage with writers and creators you may only know from the page; hear them read, ask questions, and partake in discussions about their process, their work, and the successes and challenges of the changing literary world.
