Jonathan Gillman Poetry Reading

Monday, November 4th, Jonathan Gillman will give a reading from "My Father, Humming" at Word Forge, 563 Broad Street, Hartford, CT next to the Firebox Restaurant.  The evening starts with Open Mike at 7pm, and will be done by 8:30pm.  Admission is free.

This is how the publisher (Antrim House Books) described "My Father, Humming":

In this moving series of poems, which reads like a novel, Jonathan Gillman depicts his father's drift into dementia, the strong feelings his father evoked in his family, the author's often turbulent relationship with him, and their gradual acceptance of each other.

My Father, Humming is a book that will resonate with everyone.  It speaks of the things that are so deep in us we don't have words for them. Visit www.myfatherhumming.com for more information, sample poems, and videos of Jonathan reading a few of the poems.
