Six Writers, United by Sculpture

Tonight at the Yeshiva University Museum (15 W. 16th St.), six writers will come together for a reading of new works inspired by the Orna Ben-Ami sculpture “Roots” (right). The fiction, non-fiction, and poetry that Lynda Curnyn, Tracy Marx, Sima Rabinowitz, Hasanthika Sirisena, Lisa Sklar, and Dorothy Spears will read was commissioned by the museum as an added feature to its “Feminine Principals: Works in Iron, Fiber and Glass” exhibit, in which the sculpture is showcased, and focuses on “the contrasting experiences of rootedness and rootlessness.” The gallery opens at 6 p.m. with the authors starting up an hour later.
