For anyone coming to the Arts Festivals in Central PA I got this e- mail about author related events.
From: The BookPound [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 7/10/2006 10:54 AM To: The BookPound Subject: July 10, 2006 Update - State College Bibliophiles Club (SCBC) Hello Bibliophiles and Friends! Webster's Bookstore Café will be hosting Wordstock, a celebration of the written and spoken language. Singer/songwriter performances will occur daily July 11 - 15, 7pm to 9pm. Here is the performance schedule: July 11th - Doug Irwin and Jim Colbert July 12th - Jon Rounds, Kevin Dremel, and Richard Sleigh July 13th - Michelle Katz, Katey Twoey, and Scott Mangene July 14th - Paul Purple, Joel Blunk, and Phil Spangler July 15th - Cole Hons, Stacy Tibbetts ***** AUTHORS ARE ARTISTS, TOO Authors are Artists, Too presents local authors who will read from their work and answer questions about it. Programs, including questions, will be approximately 30 minutes long. Authors will be delighted to sign their work, but not all authors will have books for sale on site. All programs will be hosted at Schlow Library. **Please note: the Schlow Library parking lot will be closed for the duration of Arts Fest. Metered street parking in the vicinity will be extremely limited, as will space at the municipal parking garages on Pugh Street and Fraser Street. Festival parking is available at Jordan East (next to Bryce Jordan Center) at the rate of $5 per car, which includes a free round-trip shuttle to the center of Arts Fest. Author schedule: July 13th, 2pm - Martha Freeman - Martha Freeman's dozen books for children include The Year My Parents Ruined My Life, and Who is Stealing the Twelve Days of Christmas? Her newest book, illustrated by Steve Salerno, is Mrs. Wow Never Wanted a Cow. Martha lives in State College. July 14th, 2pm - Gabeba Baderoon - South Africa-born State College resident Gabeba Baderoon is the author of The Dream in the Next Body and A Hundred Silences. She received the DaimlerChrysler Award for South African Poetry in 2005. July 14th, 3pm - Julia Kasdorf - Julia Kasdorf was born in nearby Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Her books of poetry include Sleeping Preacher, which received the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize and the Great Lakes Colleges Award for New Writing. Kasdorf's poems have appeared in The New Yorker, Paris Review, and Poetry. She will be reading from her current collection, Poetry in America. July 15th, 2pm - James Morrow - State College resident James Morrow has been called "the most provocative satiric voice in science fiction" by The Washington Post, but that description is insufficient. Morrow's 36 books run the gamut from science fiction to fantasy to historical fiction. His latest, nine years in the making, is The Last Witchfinder, "a richly detailed, cerebral tale of rationality versus superstitious bigotry set in late-17th-century London and colonial New England," according to a starred review in Publisher's Weekly. The book is a "tour-de-force of early America" that "bears a buoyant humor to lighten its macabre load." July 15th, 3pm - Reggie Lutz and Kathleen Morrow - Their first book, The Lutz-Morrow Affair is poetry about the Cold War during the 1980's. It comes out the week before the Arts Festival and so is hot off the presses for their reading! ***** Other July book events: *Nittany Valley Writers' Network Breakfast, Wednesday, July 19. 7am - 8am. Waffle Shop on West College Avenue. *Schlow Book Discussion Group, Tuesday, July 25. 2:30pm - 3:30pm. Schlow Library.
