Writers of a Certain Age: Poetry, Stories and Essays by People 60 and Older

Continuing our exploration of contemporary literature begun last spring over the course of the Brooklyn Cottage’s Artists Who Write series, Writers of a Certain Age presents readings of original poetry, stories and essays by people 60 and older.

Co-curated with Iviva Olenick and featuring the work of Cheryl Clarke, Esther Cohen, Breena Clarke, Monte Olenick, Anne Bacal Newman, Barnett Berger, Mama Donna Henes, Jane Schulman, Alice Shechter and Rita Zweifach, our evening will give voice to the full range of experiences of a segment of the population at times under-embraced. Writers of a Certain Age will reveal the passions, triumphs and pains of life in our third trimester–and give those of us not yet in it a path made more textured and visible.

Come join us!
