POETRY Sunday, September 26th at 2pm	Carpenter Poets of Jamaica Plain Inspired by the work of poet and carpenter Mark Turpin, this group of carpenters started their own poetry night and eventually formed the Carpenter Poets of Jamaica Plain.

Admission: $5.
POETRY OCTOBER Date to be determined. Admission: $9/ $5 members	E.E. Cummings Celebration Join us for a celebration of the life and legacy of poet E.E. Cummings, who is buried at Forest Hills.

Bring a memento or message to leave at the gravesite. Admission: $9/$5 members.
TOUR Sunday, October 31st at 2pm Admission: $9	Victorian Spiritualism Tour Spiritualists believed that death was a transition to a new form or existence; people who had "crossed over" could be contacted through seances and spirit guides.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
RITUAL Tuesday, November 2 at 4-6 pm Free	Day of the Dead Tzompantli Join us for a traditional Mexican celebration of remembrance co-sponsored by Latin American folkloric performance group La Pinata.
