Local educator Zetta Elliot admitted early in her presentation at Franklin Park that she isn’t quite accustomed to late night readings at bars – usually she is presenting her work earlier in the day as an educator, in schools and libraries. However, she persevered and read an eloquent excerpt from her novel A Wish After Midnight (above), the tale of a young woman in Brooklyn transported back in time to the Civil War era. Ms. Elliot is a poet, essayist, playwright and the author of children’s books and is currently writing a sequel to A Wish After Midnight.
