On the anniversaries of their 1985 and 1995 trips to Africa and China for UN Conferences on Women, the Streetfeet Women, a Boston-based multicultural ensemble, continue to write and perform. On Friday, April 24 they will present a dramatic reading with music and songs at the Putney Public Library, 55 Main St., Putney, VT, 6:30 PM. Mary Birnbaum, Elena Harap, Christina Liu, Mary McCullough, and Li Min Mo will read from old and new work, ending with questions and conversation with the audience.
Refreshments will be served. Streetfeet books, including the 1998 award-winning anthology Laughing in the Kitchen and 2009 The Bones We Carry; two travel journals; and Li Mo’s memoir Spirit Bridges, will be available for sale. The event is free and open to the public.
