Edgar Allan Poe is famous for ravens, gloomy mansions, and tragic figures, but what happens when we read him through a different lens?
At this pop-up event with Norfolk Public Library and the Women gender and equity center, we鈥檒l explore Poe鈥檚 work through themes of gender, power, mental health, and queer possibility. Together, we鈥檒l ask:
-
Who gets to live, speak, and love in Poe鈥檚 stories?
-
What voices are missing?
-
What changes when we rewrite the narrative?
Stop by to celebrate Poe鈥檚 birthday, engage with new interpretations, and rethink a classic author in unexpected ways. No prior knowledge required, just curiosity.
