Tuesday, October 1st at 6:00 pm: A Dramatic Recital of The Raven with
Jeff Zygmont (IN-PERSON).
Enrich your Halloween season by experiencing a dramatic recital of “The
Raven” by poet Jeffrey Zygmont. More than 175 years after its first
publication, the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe remains both a
masterwork of American literature and an entertaining adventure in horror.
Jeff brings the 18 stanzas of “The Raven” to life by emphasizing Poe’s
inventive and ingenious language that draws listeners to the poem’s chilling
conclusion – aided by a few choice props that enhance your enjoyment. Jeff
also gives a brief review of the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. And he
provides some background and commentary on the poem that makes your
understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of “The Raven” more complete.
Jeffrey Zygmont is a New England writer and poet who has also published
numerous poetry, fiction and non-fiction books (including some children’s
books), and short stories. Working as a journalist, he has published articles
in a long list of magazines and newspapers. He speaks regularly about
poetry and art – especially to promote the works of American poets Edgar
Allan Poe and Robert Frost – at venues around New England. Registration
required.
