"Tania, the bookshop owner, decorates for the Halloween season and has tea/cider/coffee and snacks. Pat reads The Raven by candlelight, dressed as Poe with his hair and mustache dyed, and then takes questions about Poe's writing and life. He's done this for a few years. Started off with maybe five people in the store to listen, to a full house the last three years. One girl came a couple of years ago who had Poe's face as a large tattoo on her thigh! Now, that's a Poe fan!"
Hello, POEts out there! No, that's not a typo, it's a callout for you fans of Edgar Allen Poe. You're invited to hear a dramatic reading of Poe's works by poet Patrick Kalahar: Jenny Kalahar tells us more about the event: "Tania, the bookshop owner, decorates for the Halloween season and has tea/cider/coffee and snacks. Pat reads The Raven by candlelight, dressed as Poe with his hair and mustache dyed, and then takes questions about Poe's writing and life. He's done this for a few years. Started off with maybe five people in the store to listen, to a full house the last three years. One girl came a couple of years ago who had Poe's face as a large tattoo on her thigh! Now, that's a Poe fan!" They look pretty similar, don't they? Good job, Patrick, and good luck!
