(If you're looking for the Arkansas Zone Party Sign-Up, go here.)Sometimes Mondays get me down. Luckily, there always seems to be something really awesome going on round' town. Today is no exception. I've got two swimmingly good options for all of you Monday-gets-me-down-ers.
So, first off we have Joan McBreen, an Irish poet who has authored four books and edited an anthology of Irish women poets. She'll be sharing some of her work at 6 p.m. in Gordon Palmer TODAY, September 20th. Come and hear what is sure to be a pretty awesome accent and even better poetry.
Next, there's the presentation of "Palestine," Najla Said's one-woman Off-Broadway show that tells a "coming-of-age story about Ms. Said's journey to become an Arab-American on her own terms," as described in a New York Times article last February. Her father, Edward W. Said, was one of the biggest proponents of Palestinian independence in the United States before his death in 2003, but as a child Najla's posh East Village lifestyle was far removed from such geopolitical quandaries. Come to the Heritage Room at the Ferg tonight at 7 p.m. to experience Said's story through her performance.
