Twenty Writers on Miscarriage, Healing, and Hope

Tuesday, Jun 12th - 7:00 PM

@ McNally Robinson, 52 Prince Street, New York, New York 212-274-1160

"With editor Jessica Berger Gross and readings by contributors Sue O’Doherty, Caroline Leavitt, Andrea Buchanan, Miranda Field, Rochelle Jewel Shapiro, and Rachel Zucker. Though up to one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, the subject remains one of the last taboos, its painfulness often compounded by silence and confusion. Editor Jessica Berger Gross brings the subject of women’s experience of miscarriage into the light with this intimate anthology, each piece written first-hand by a woman who lost a pregnancy. Five of the contributors will read from their contributions in this evening of revelation and discussion, and begin a conversation about shared and private griefs that hope to illuminate the subject of miscarriage."

I've had this on my calendar for months--and was disappointed when I had to schedule a hearing that day (there was no way I would be able to make it). Alas, hearing adjourned! I'll be there. I have my doubts that the Husband will be anxious to attend such a femfest, but we'll see.
