PUTNEY — The Streetfeet Women, a Boston-based writer/performers' ensemble, will present a reading of poems and prose pieces entitled “What Does It Mean to be Human?” on Friday, April 29, at 6:30 p.m., at the Putney Public Library at 55 Main St.
The program includes Mary McCullough's 10-minute play, “Twilight Time,” Christina Liu's “Surrogate,” poetry by Mary Birnbaum, fiction by Andrea Humphrey, and nonfiction by Elena Harap, all exploring ways in which we see, or do not see, one another as full human beings.
From various points of view, this reading raises questions about class, color, gender, and belief. The audience is invited to join a conversation following the program.
Refreshments will be served. Streetfeet books, including the 1998 award-winning anthology “Laughing in the Kitchen”; the 2009 collection, “The Bones We Carry”; “The Road to Beijing,” a travel journal; and Li Mo's memoir “Spirit Bridges,” will be available for sale.
