Reading of the Inferno at St. John of the Divine, NYC
“For the 20th consecutive year, the great Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine hosts this free late-night reading of Dante’s epic poem of Hell and damnation. Those scheduled to read include the cathedral’s poet-in-residence, Marilyn Nelson. It’s worth the trip to hear grand verse ring out in the church at night.” —Time Out New York, Thursday, March 28, 2013
