The Birth of Goth: Charles Baudelaire & Edgar Allen Poe
3701 Voltaire Street, San Diego, 92107
Cost: $5 - $20
Dive into the dark world of Baudelaire & Poe at Pegasus Poetry Workshop. What is Gothic? Where does it come from? What are the aesthetic origins of Gothicism? What does it mean to be focused on Death, Decay and the darker elements of our shared experience?
Is the Gothic just a fixation on morbidity or does it reflect on a deeper contemplation of our own mortality and dread of the Unknown?
Come and discover exactly what is lurking in the shadows of your fears!
Recitation and Discussion facilitated by Award Winning Poet, Philosopher and Independent Scholar Igor Goldkind (BA, UCSC; MSC La Sorbonne).
