Speaker: Thom Nickles on His Book “Literary Philadelphia: A History of Poetry & Prose in the City of Brother Love”
"Thom Nickels returns to discuss his latest book. He is the author of several works of interest to Philadelphians, gay or straight, including: Gay and Lesbian Philadelphia and Legendary Locals of Center City Philadelphia. In this new book, Thom surveys Philadelphia’s literary landscape and authors with a local connection both famous and little known, from the city’s beginnings to more recent times. The tradition is rich and incudes names like Franklin, Whitman, Poe, Buck, Lippard, Taylor, Morley, Ingram, Rottenberg, and Sanchez, among others. (No books will be available for purchase. If you bring your personal copy, Thom will be happy to sign it.)"
