BATTLE HILL POETRY FESTIVAL

BATTLE HILL POETRY FESTIVAL AT THE GREEN-WOOD CEMETERY
SATURDAY OCTOBER 13, 2007 7PM

A literary event for the living amongst the dead, the Battle Hill
Poetry Festival will be a tremendous gala poetry marathon, the most
elaborate we have ever developed and a lively extension of the spirit
of the Battle Hill Reading Series. Step into the historic Green-Wood
Chapel on a Saturday night in the country’s most beautiful cemetery,
478 acres of woodland right in the middle of New York City, and honor
our poet ancestors -- both permanent residents of Green-Wood, and our
still very-much-alive forbearers. We invite you to join us for Battle
Hill’s Dia de la Muerte.
