An intimate evening of readings by actor Marilyn Lightstone

Stage and screen star Marilyn Lightstone reads from a stunning collection of poetry, Nocturne: Poems to Linger Over. Inspired by the response from fans of her radio show, Nocturne on Classical 96.3 FM, she collected poems from renowned and lesser-known poets with one single aim: to lift the spirits of the reader. Ms. Lightstone shares what motivated her to create the collection and her process for selecting the poems.

A Different Drummer Books will be onsite selling the book for signing after the talk.

Presented in partnership with Plumleaf Press
