Our September show brought together readers new and old. Dr. Ada Cheng shared a contemplative essay about aging and acceptance, followed by Kemi Alabi reading poems from their acclaimed book Against Heaven. Tuesday Funk co-founder Hallie Palladino read a personal essay about how she fell in love with — and began writing for — the movies.

After the break, first-time reader Ryan Varadi shared poems from a collection in progress. Finally, Kate Harding closed out the night with a fresh list of reasons to open a used bookstore (or come visit her at Jarvis Square Books very soon). Thanks as always to our attentive and supportive audience!

Join us in the upstairs bar at Hopleaf on Tuesday, October 1, when we'll have readings by Steve Bellinger, Laura Goldstein, PJ Gray, Faisal Mohyuddin, and Sondra Morin. Hope to see you there!
