On Friday February 12, at 7:30, Write Action will be hosting a reading of poems and short prose on the topic of Mercy at the Blue Dot in the Hooker-Dunham Building in Brattleboro. In December, the non-profit organization, which supports writing and writers in the tri-state area, solicited the public for short pieces on this topic. Friday’s event will bring together some of the writers who responded to the call for written work on the theme of mercy.
This year’s invitation to write on one of the virtues is the second such writing prompt that Write Action has shepherded. Last year the organization solicited short stories of 500 words or less on the theme of hope. The group hopes to gather together a collection of writings on virtues, and to publish them in some form.
Portions of Friday’s even will also be recorded, and the group hopes to play some of the recordings on the Write Action Radio, the group’s radio show that is broadcast on WVEW, 107.7 FM, Brattleboro’s community radio station. The show on mercy will be broadcast on Sunday, Feb 21, from 5 – 6 PM
There will be a sign up for drop-ins who desire to read a short piece on the theme of Mercy. Come early if you hope to be part of this reading.
