The Press at the Palace of the Governors invites the public to celebrate the resilience of spirit in a special evening of limericks with poet Stuart Hall at 6 pm on Friday, June 1, in the Meem Community Room. The event is free, and guests will receive a keepsake of one of Hall’s limericks printed at the Palace Press. Seating is limited.
Hall, an accomplished writer, also lives with severe short-term memory impairment. Wishing to be recognized for his craft rather than his disability, he demonstrates that people with memory impairment are no less human and can be no less creative or gifted.
