Summer in New York is both the best season and, increasingly, a dangerous one, and these four Queens writers dig into that contradiction in personal essays. The reading happens at King Manor, the 18th-century home of Founding Father Rufus King, set in a park on Jamaica Avenue. If you like writing that is local and timely, pick up the free zine and stay for the conversation.
What to expect
An afternoon reading in the historic house museum's setting, followed by discussion, with free zine copies handed out while supplies last. Arrive a little early to see the grounds of King Park and the exterior of the 1700s farmhouse that Rufus King expanded.
