Readings by Spencer Reece and Danielle Chapman: Acts of Love and Lyricism

Spencer Reece and Danielle Chapman read from their latest poetry collections, both of which testify to being called to love through lives of faith and poetry. Reece’s Acts regales readers with tender, and often hilarious, tales of a queer Episcopal priest in Spain, and a devoted son at his mother’s bedside in Old Lyme, CT. In Boxed Juice Chapman’s speakers sing of the joys and the absurdities of raising small children against the backdrop of a devastating illness. Both books seek music, meaning, humor, and even rapture, in the midst of suffering and strangeness.

Free and open to the public.
