Writing & War: A Performance of Poetry and Prose from the Bellevue Literary Review

What is our relationship to war? How does war push the human body and mind to their limits? How do we come to terms with separation and death? These are all questions that the poetry and prose in the Bellevue Literary Review’s new issue—”Embattled: The Ramifications of War”—grapple with. Join us for a special performance as the powerful writing published in this issue comes to life through readings by actors from stage and screen.
