Brooklyn Reading Works presents Cupid's Arrow: Writers on Love curated by Marian Fontana. Another on eof the great themed readings at Brooklyn Reading Works curated by interesting writers.

Marian  Fontana, author of The Widow's Walk; A Memoir of 9/11 and the upcoming from Simon and Schuster,  The Middle of the Bed, has gathered together some wonderful writers, including  Elissa Schappell author of Use Me and the upcoming Blueprints for Better Girls; Novelist, poet and editor of Teachers and Writers Collaborative magazine, Susan Karwoska; and Poets Ellen Ferguson and Ira Goldstein and memoirist, Mila Drumke. Marian will be reading an excerpt from her upcoming book.

It should, as always, be a great night. These themed group readings are fascinating as you see the subject matter shift, the approach, and the language shift from author to author.

Alison, the owner of Paper Love, the new card and stationery shop on Lincoln Place, is thinking of selling letter press Valentine's cards at the show. She happens to be a fiction writer and was very excited to be part of this event.
