“Join us for a memorial reading of Rebecca Taksel’s book of poetry, The Bench, published after her death in 2020 by Madbooks. Rebecca taught French Language, French Literature, English, World Literature and ESL at Point Park University. She also pursued a writing life for many years. She was a member of the Madwomen in the Attic at Carlow University, and a contributing editor to the Redwood Coast Review. The Bench, illusory and yet with precise detail, looks at a woman’s life through the seasons of the year. Like Rebecca, these poems are unflinching in their honesty, intellect and wisdom. Poems from the The Bench will be read by Madwomen Jan Beatty, Marilyn Narey, Barbara Shema, Laurel Szymkowiak and Barbara Wolvovitz.
Events at Stay Gold Books are primarily standing-room only and first come, first serve. Email info@staygoldbooks.com with questions or to arrange for an accessible seating arrangement in advance.”
