BEI Emeritus Fellow Regie Gibson will be reading at The Boston Book Festival on Oct. 28. The festival will be going on at sites surrounding Copley Square; most events are free. Dozens of authors and literary personalities appear in panels, talks and workshops (there’s also a daylong event for teen readers featuring Lemony Snicket and Jennifer De Leon). Gibson is constantly reading at different events throughout Boston, and is sure to make a prominent and powerful performance at the festival.
