I’m taking a break from the film reviewing this week to spread the word about two literary events.

Currents in the Electric City Reading, Nov. 2 at 7 pm, The Gathering Place

This event will be another reading/book signing to celebrate Currents in the Electric City: A Scranton Anthology. Featured readers include Mandy Pennington, David Elliott, Ted LoRusso, Jess Meoni, Amye Archer, Bonnie Markowski, Daryl Fanelli, Barbara J. Taylor, fellow co-editor Joe Kraus, and I. This event is free and will take place at the Gathering Place in Clarks Summit, PA.

Open Mic at the Albright Memorial Library, Thursday, Nov. 7 at 6 pm

Lackawanna College’s Professional Writing Program, in conjunction with the Albright Memorial Library, is hosting an open mic. This will feature student and faculty readings, but it’s also open to the public! Bring a piece to share. Admission is free, and there will be food, too.

Currents in the Electric City in Beacon, NY/Stanza Books

On Saturday, we had a wonderful and inspiring launch for Currents in the Electric City. About a dozen contributors read their work from the anthology at the Albright Memorial Library before a packed house. The momentum will continue into the late summer and fall months. Next up, some of us will be reading at Stanza Books in Beacon, NY on Saturday, August 17.

Stanza Books is co-owned by one of the anthology’s contributors, Andrea Talarico. She’ll be reading, along with Mandy Pennington, Daryl Fanelli, Joe Kraus, Dawn Leas, and I. It should be a lot of fun, and we’ll have copies of the book for sale.
