Hadara Bar-Nadav!

So this is a bad-news-good-news kind of post.

Unfortunately our friend Pat Rosal will be unable to make it to this year’s festival. Pat came to the very first Unbound back in 2016 and we were so looking forward to welcoming him back.

However, every cloud and all that: we’re beyond thrilled to announce that the wonderful poet Hadara Bar-Nadav will now be appearing to read with Leila Chatti at Serendipity Salon at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday! You will not want to miss what promises to be a wonderful hour of poetry.
