Talking Books

Jan Newton’s Talking Books program  looks at the courtship, marriage and poetry of famous Victorian writers, Robert and Elizabet Barrett Browning, as told by author Julia Markus in her book, Dared and Done. The program is at the Black Dog in Logansport on Tuesday, February 27th at 6:30 and is a free event.   Newton chose the topic of the Brownings to celebrate the Valentine season because their love story is romantic and compelling. Their letters about poetry led to secret meetings and an elopement to Italy, despite her tyrannical father’s attempts to keep them apart.  She will also read some of the poetry their marriage inspired.  For more information, go to Black Dog Coffee or Black Dog Gifts face book pages or call 574 722 4133 or stop by the Black Dog at 116 S. 6th Street in Logansport.
