Featured in Upcoming Book of Hudson Valley Writers

River of Words: Portraits of Hudson Valley WritersI’m thrilled to be one of the writers featured in the upcoming book River of Words: Portraits of Hudson Valley Writers, written by Nina Shengold with portraits by Jennifer May.

In the book, seventy-six writers reflect on the literary life, the craft of writing, and the beauty of the Hudson Valley. And as someone who grew up in that valley—I’ve lived in towns including Saugerties, Kerhonkson/Accord, Woodstock, and West Hurley—it’s a great honor to be included. Not to mention in such great company as Chinua Achebe, Nick Flynn, Ann M. Martin, Susan Orlean, John Sayles, and so many more…

The book will be out from SUNY Press in August 2010. For more information about the book—to read excerpts and see the beautiful portraits—visit the website.
