Monster Christmas Special: A Poetry Reading
Immerse yourself in an evening of captivating poetry, where words dance like monsters and emotions run wild. We invite you to witness the power of language as poets explore:
Who does Dracula think of when eating cranberry sauce, or what does the Bride of Frankenstein give Frankenstein in his stocking, or why is that Mariah Carey Christmas song so so so haunting?
Whether you're a poetry enthusiast or simply curious, this event promises to be a delightful experience.
So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, cozy up by the fire, and let the magic of words transport you to a world of imagination and wonder. Don't miss out on this extraordinary celebration of Nicelle Davis's new collection The Language of Fractions--a book that explores the more human side of monsters.
