Lyndsay Faye’s new Gothic thriller RAVEN drops next month, weaving a haunting tale of grief, magic, and mystery set in 19th-century Maryland. Raven, a young woman haunted by her mother’s death, turns to witchcraft and self-harm for solace—until she moves in with her aunt in Baltimore and bonds with enslaved workers, especially Pym. When financial ruin forces her to work as a companion to the ailing Lenore at a sinister manor, Raven is drawn into occult secrets and a dangerous rivalry with Lenore’s cousin Travanion. Blending Poe-esque dread with themes of loss, freedom, and resurrection, this atmospheric novel showcases Faye’s signature reinvention of classic literature—she’s also the mind behind Jane Steele, the serial killer version of Jane Eyre. Don’t miss her live talk at the Poe Museum on September 17th (tickets $15) or join virtually via Zoom.

Maryam Safajoo, a Persian-American artist and Guggenheim Fellow, transforms silent suffering into vivid art—her powerful paintings document the Bahá’í community’s persecution in Iran since 1979, serving as both visual testimony and acts of resistance. Through her narrative-driven works, she preserves stories erased by oppression, ensuring their resonance across generations. Her exhibitions have graced global institutions including Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and the Nobel Prize Museum, cementing her role in the intersection of art, human rights, and memory. Currently on view at Hollins University’s Eleanor D. Wilson Museum through December 2026, her show “The Dream of Freedom” invites the public to witness art that dares to remember—and demand justice.

Virginia’s bipartisan commission on men and boys just released its first report — and the numbers are alarming. Only 48% of boys entered kindergarten ready in 2024, compared to 56% of girls. Fourth-grade boys lagged behind girls in reading by a staggering margin: 48% scored below basic, versus 34% for girls — putting Virginia last nationally in this gap. The commission is now pushing for targeted solutions, including studying successful districts, expanding dual enrollment, and boosting career readiness — all aimed at giving men and boys the tools to thrive economically and personally. Their work continues, with a reconvening set for 2027, as they lay the foundation for lasting change across the commonwealth.
