Downgo Sun – Fourth
Literary Reading
|
On Sunday, November 26, 2006 at 2:00 p.m., a fourth session of
“Readings” was held, with authors Peggy Hormann, Robert Gillis and
Christina Pacosz participating.
Hormann starts things off with some good
suspense.
Hormann read a short story full of the
kind of suspense that happens when a family passes a secret down through
several generations after a house that saw five generations is razed for
development. Gillis, who is a retired codes inspector for Kansas
City, Missouri, is also a 30-year veteran of the sports complex and
talked about his new book from the fans’ perspective, “Beer Bob Speaks
Out.” Christina Pacosz (former Scuola Vita Nuova teacher) read a poem
about the 2004 assault on Falujua, Iraq. Christina also read a number
of other poems from over the years, including ones from her new
“Greatest Hits” book and a new poem about counting monarch butterflies
from the playground during recess at the charter school.
