In collaboration with Antenna, stationer Nancy Sharon Collins presents the next LETTERS READ: Regrets. An evening of live readings celebrating the written form of human rejection. During the evening we will also celebrate the release of the new book by Antenna’s Press Street Press, entitled Letters featuring the personal correspondence of Barbara Hammond to her niece, New Orleans based photographer Ryn Wilson. The book pairs the letters with Wilson’s photos of the era.
