The Candlelight Reading Series presents a reading and eurythmy event with poems by Emily Dickinson on Saturday, April 12, 2008, 8:00 PM at Revelations Bookstore, upstairs.

Emily Dickinson’s poems hardly need an introduction. Their concise luminosity, humor and spiritual depth are for the ages. This is already the third time the Candlelight Reading Series is honoring this great American poetess with a program dedicated to her poetry.

Eurythmy is a movement art developed from initial indications by Rodolf Steiner back in 1912.  This art form mysteriously makes speech and music visible on etheric levels through graceful movement and is quite fascinating to look at.

Raven Garland and Tracy Thoreson, two Iowa eurythmists will recite and interpret a few Dickinson poems.

Other readers on the program are Jason Schneider and Freddy Niagara Fonseca.

Jason has made a lifelong study of Dickinson’s life and poetry and delivered a couple lectures about her at the Harvard Club in NYC.

Freddy is the founder of the Candlelight Reading Series. He has organized and performed in over 50 poetry, musical and cultural events in the past three, four years in Fairfield. Admission is free.  Please come on time.
