Keeping up with our authors

Here's the latest on some SUNY author events taking place around New York later this week...

Eve Pell will be especially busy later this week. On Thursday evening she'll be reading from We Used to Own the Bronx from 5:30–7:00 at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs. Then Eve heads down to Sleepy Hollow for a Friday night reading at Kendal on Hudson, from 7:30–9:30. After that she'll jet back up state to Troy's Market Block Books for a Saturday afternoon reading, from 2:00–4:00.

Eve will also be interviewed on Friday morning from 10:00–10:30 on WAMC Northeast Public Radio. You can listen live or at the station archives on their website.

Also on Friday night, Margaret Wooster will be reading from and signing copies of Living Waters, from 7:00–9:00 at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Niagara Falls, New York.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for other upcoming events (and Eve and Margaret both have more on the horizon). For more details (and directions) on these and other events, check out our events calendar. Make it a daily habit; you won't be disappointed.

Living Waters book review

In Living Waters: Reading the Rivers of the Lower Great Lakes, Margaret Wooster tells a series of intriguing stories based on her exploration of eight rivers in New York and Québec. The book was recently reviewed in the Buffalo News. Here's a tease:

"Margaret Wooster’s Living Waters: Reading the Rivers of the Lower Great Lakes (SUNY Press) is simply wonderful ... [her] near poetic essays make evil deeds at least palatable and the splendid example of her own commitment clearly indicates a brighter future for our living waters."
