Please join us at Arden Hearth, 202 N. 15th St., for an elegant evening of sharing recitations and readings of poems or short excerpts from your favorite books. If all books were to be destroyed by fire, what fragments of literary greatness would you snatch from the flames? What lines of poetry are etched in your memory safe from the fate of ashes? After sharing our readings and reasons for preserving these writers, we’ll enjoy well-read conversation, coffee, and dessert in the charming setting of a fine old Victorian home of Richmond.  continue reading »
