Next Saturday, August 11, from 1:30-3:30 Sycorax Press will be hosting a wonderful program at Poe Cottage in the Bronx entitled “Poe’s Heirs.” Writers Sara Cleto, Brittany Warman, C.S.E. Cooney, Carlos Hernandez and Sandi Leibowitz will start off discussing speculative poetry, then each poet will read samples of their works. We’ll finish up with a Q&A session plus selling and signing of books, including SP books THE BONE-JOINER and Rebecca Buchanan’s DAME EVERGREEN and Other Poems of Myth, Magic & Madness.
The program will take place in the educational center adjacent to the cottage. If you’ve never visited the cottage–it’s beautiful and touching (especially if, like me, you love Edgar A. Poe)–you might want to stop in there first, as it closes at 4:00 and our program ends at 3:30. The cottage opens at 10 and, as it’s small, you don’t need to give yourself more than perhaps an hour to see it. Admission to the cottage is $5; $3 for students and seniors.
