Celebrating 25 years of Bellevue Literary Review
City Winery, Writers Read & Bellevue Literary Review present Body Language: True Stories of Illness, Recovery, and Discovery live on Sunday, February 22nd, at 1:00 PM!
This special collaboration marks Bellevue Literary Review’s 25th anniversary year. Join us for an entertaining afternoon as talented writers from across the country take the stage to present their true, personal, five-minute stories—literary work exploring the extraordinary demands placed upon the human body and mind.
Hosted by Dr. Danielle Ofri, Editor-in-Chief of BLR and Writers Read founder Edward McCann, this curated program of crafted narratives is raw, cathartic, and surprisingly funny—original stories presented by a cast of writers who prove that even in our most vulnerable moments, we possess an undeniable resilience.
Relax and enjoy the afternoon with us! While writers share their tales, you can share food and wine at your table with friends. Reception follows. Doors open 12:00 for lunch.
Bellevue Literary Review (BLR) is an award-winning independent literary journal dedicated to exploring the nuances of the human body, illness, health, and healing. BLReview.org Writers Read is a nonprofit literary forum creating performance opportunities for writers. WritersRead.org
