Beyond Conflict And War | Civilian And Military Perspectives

  • Beacon Historical Society 61 Leonard Street Beacon, NY, 12508 United States (map)

A unique literary event featuring local and regional authors, local veterans, and a former member of the Obama administration presenting classics and original writing about conflict, war, and an often-elusive peace and its impact on us all, civilian and soldier alike: the societal and personal viewed through the lens of literature written for us all. A reception afterwards will offer opportunities for questions and informal exchanges between different worlds, through which we may glimpse the surprising….and maybe the familiar too.

Featured readers include: Ruth Danon - Poet Laureate, Dutchess County; LTC Malia K. Du Mont, Former Director of Strategy under President Obama; Paul Alexander, author, educator, radio personality; Doug Anderson, poet, Vietnam veteran; MAJ John MacEnroe, USA (retired).

Space is limited so please RSVP: vfw_post666@outlook.com
