Robert Bly and Donald Hall

Receiving snail mail from loved ones is always exciting, simply because it’s such a rare form of intimacy. That sense of closeness is bound to bleed over onto the stage with the Literary Friendships series. The first two writers paired up for an onstage conversation are Robert Bly (pictured here) and Donald Hall, friends and critics of one another’s work who have exchanged frequent letters for more than fifty years. They will share what they have learned from each other about love, life, and the liberty of the pen—and there’s bound to be some more casual chat, too. Fitzgerald Theater, 10 E. Exchange St., St. Paul; 651-290-1221
