On Sunday, Sept. 7, the Christopher Morley Knothole Association will present a "Day of Literature in the Park: Poetry and Prose Picnic."

The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Christopher Morley Park, located on Searingtown Road in Roslyn Estates.

The Knothole Association will present live readings and interpretations of classic works of literature. Local residents can be part of the fun by bringing their own poems or novels to read from and then share what they believe the author is saying, what the author's history is, and why that work of literature has significant meaning.

The Day of Literature will be held outdoors under the shade tree at the Knothole, itself the preserved study of Christopher Morley. General admission is free and refreshments are provided by the Christopher Morley Knothole Association. Attendees should bring their own blanket or folding lawn chair.
