Every year we gather by Nick Virgilio’s grave at the gorgeous and historic Harleigh Cemetery to read poetry and celebrate his life. The lectern memorial, engraved with Virgilio’s famous poem, “lily: / out of the water… / out of itself” overlooks a serene lake and is just up the hill from Walt Whitman’s tomb.
This year, we will begin our celebration at our writers house, where we will dedicate the new mural created by local artist, Danielle Cartier. Join us at 1pm at 1801 Broadway, and then make the short trip down Ferry Avenue to Harliegh Cemetery, at 1640 Haddon Avenue, at 2pm.
