Gayle Brandeis in Conversation With Rene Denfeld
February 17, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeA novel in poems by Gayle Brandeis, Many Restless Concerns (Black Lawrence) gives voice to the hundreds of girls and women killed by Countess Erzsébet Báthory of Hungary between 1585 and 1609. The ghosts of these women speak in chorus, compelling us to bear witness to the violence enacted against them, and to share their quest for justice – not only for themselves, but for all women to come. Brandeis will be joined in conversation by Rene Denfeld, author of The Butterfly Girl.
