About this Event

Beacon Litfest presents an evening of storytelling, poetry, and film for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Tonight,
Stories We Don’t Tell: a powerful program moving from a short film by award-winning director Nira Burstein into curated readings introduced by SLAM champion Nina Robins, exploring themes of psychosis, depression, anxiety, and healing.

About Stories We Don’t Tell,
In an intimate setting designed for deep listening, this evening brings together film, poetry, and conversation to illuminate the often unspoken realities of mental health. Writers share work that questions, reveals, and connects—followed by a guided discussion inviting reflection on how literature can challenge stigma and create space for understanding.

This program includes emotionally intense material. All are welcome—whether as readers, supporters, or those seeking language for their own experience.
