Slaughter and Spektor to Offer Poetry and Music

Harriet Slaughter, a poet and artist, and Mira J. Spektor, a poet and composer, will bring their talents to the Montauk Library on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. as part of its Women Celebrating Women series.

A former actress and arts administrator, Ms. Slaughter will read from her book “Arts Poetica.” Ms. Spektor will read her more recent poems as well as selections from her earlier volume, “The Road to November,” and will introduce a screening of her 10-minute opera, “The Passion of Lizzie Borden,” set to poetry by Ruth Whitman.

The library will present “The Kid From Paris: An Evening With Yves Montand” on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Jean Brassard, an actor and singer, will combine songs from the French icon’s 50-year career with a narrative about his life, loves, and politics. He will be accompanied on piano by John Bowen, a musical director and keyboard player.

Both programs are free.
