POETRY NIGHT! Maria Zoccola presents HELEN OF TROY, 1993, in conversation with Alina Stefanescu

Wednesday Aug 20th, 2025

6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Maria Zoccola stopped by the store one time while touring for Helen of Troy, 1993, and we almost didn't let her leave, because she was so smart, kind, and lovely. We made her promise to come back, and here we are! Her book, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Pick, is part myth retelling, part character study, reimagining Helen of Troy as a disgruntled housewife in 1990s Tennessee. Poet Maggie Smith raves: "[it's] the most imaginative debut I've read in years."
