The Hangover Hour – Wis’awa Szymborska performed by Lea Deschenes. Each gathering of The Hangover Hour honors the work of a dead writer. We specialize in lost or forgotten poets whose powerful work lingers on bookshelves gathering in dust. This week Lea Deschenes will perform the work of Wis’awa Szymborska. Well-known in her native Poland, Wis’awa Szymborska received international recognition when she won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. Readers of Szymborska’s poetry have often noted its wit, irony, and deceptive simplicity. Her poetry examines domestic details and occasions, playing these against the backdrop of history. For example, in the poem “The End and the Beginning,” Szymborska writes, “After every war / someone’s got to tidy up.” As always host Dave Macpherson will provide a few laughs along with a literary libation and a performance by the Second Hand Penny Players. Open mic precedes the feature. Come on down. Donations accepted for the performer. 5-6:30 p.m. Nick’s Bar and Restaurant, 124 Millbury St. 508-753-4030. Dana Lewis Live! Dana Lewis Live!
