As the new year begins
...join us for an unforgettable literary celebration and an evening filled with great poetry, irresistible food and sparkling conversation.
2012 Guest Poet, Billy Collins
On Friday, March 1, 2013 we are pleased to welcome the return of the 1995 Nobel Prize for Literature recipient and guest poet Seamus Heaney to Emory for the 13th Annual Twelfth Night Revel. We will also honor Ron and Keith Schuchard for their significant contributions to MARBL, Emory University and the scholarly world. It is an opportunity not to be missed.
Since the first 12th Night Revel was held 13 years ago, this signature event of the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library at Emory has become an unforgettable way to celebrate the spirit of poetry. We hope you will join us for a wonderful meal, convivial company, and poems read aloud by special guests.
It’s an evening you will long remember – and all proceeds benefit one of Atlanta’s cultural treasures, Emory’s world-renowned Manuscripts, Archives, and Rare Book Library. Past revels have been memorable occasions of magic and merriment.
Watch here for online ticket information, and look forward to a sparkling evening of poetry and revelry on March 1, 2013.
