PEN: Loneliness and Community

Where: The New School for Drama, 151 Bank St., New York City

In the morning’s stillness or the evening’s hush, a writer’s voice emerges. But every scribe knows that creativity thrives when in the company of others. Join four renowned writers for readings and conversation on how to negotiate between the requirement for isolation and the dueling hunger for conscious contact with a community.

With Lewis Hyde, Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold, and Shin Kyung-Sook; curated by Joshua Wolf Shenk and Dr. M. Gerard Fromm

Free and open to the public. No reservations required.

Co-sponsored by Arts in Mind: Conversations On the Arts, Creativity, and Mental Health, a project of the Sandor Ferenczi Center at the New School and the Erikson Institute for Education and Research at the Austen Riggs Center
