Third Annual Book Signing Event "Meet the Authors"
MARLENA MADURO BARAF’s stories, essays, and poems have been published in Ms. Magazine, Lilith, Lumina, Sweet Lit, HuffPost, The Ekphrastic Review, and many others. In past lives the author was book editor at Harper & Row and McGraw-Hill books companies. She studied creative writing at the Sarah Lawrence Writing Institute. Marlena will read from her memoir, At the Narrow Waist of the World, published in 2019. The story begins in the slender isthmus of Panama in the l950s and l960s and traces the impact of a mother’s mental illness on her young daughter against the backdrop of a colorful, Jewish family deeply assimilated in Catholic Panama. There’s tragedy and beauty in this protected world, and Marlena pulls away—crossing borders—to begin a life in the United States different from the one she has known. At the Narrow
Waist of the World is a lyrical memoir with undertones of Spanish that explores the intimate mother-daughter relationship, mental illness, community, and otherness. |
BROOKE LEA FORSTER is an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post Magazine, The Atlantic, The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, and HuffPost, among others, and is the author of three nonfiction books. She will read from her first novel, The Summer Darlings. The Summer Darlings is a page-turning debut novel, set during the splendid summer days of 1960s Martha’s Vineyard. It pulls back the curtain on one mysterious and wealthy family as seen through the eyes of their nanny—a college student who, while falling in love on the elegant island, is also forced to reckon with the dark underbelly of privilege.

JACQUELINE FRIEDLAND graduated Magna Cum Laude from both the University of Pennsylvania and NYU Law School. She practiced as a commercial litigator at New York law firms until she realized that office life did not suit her. Jacqueline began teaching Law and working on her first book in her limited spare time. Finally deciding to embrace her passion and pursue writing full time, Jacqueline returned to school to earn her Masters of Fine Arts from Sarah Lawrence College, graduating from the program in 2016. She has published two books, Trouble the Water and That’s Not a Thing. She will read from the most recent novel, That’s Not a Thing, published in 2020. The story starts with Meredith Altman’s engagement to Wesley Latner, that ended in spectacular disaster. When Wesley lost his parents in an accident, mere weeks before the wedding date, he blamed Meredith and left for an open-ended journey to Europe, breaking off their engagement and shattering Meredith. It was Aaron Rapp, a former Ivy League football player and baby-saving doctor who finally helped lift her heart off the floor.

BARBARA SOLOMON JOSSELSOHN is a New York-based novelist. She is the author of The Lilac House, which was published last March by Bookouture and is now followed by The Bluebell Girls. Both books are part of her Lake Summers series, and take place in the fictional town of Lake Summers, a small, idyllic lake town nestled in the Adirondack Mountains. Her debut novel is The Last Dreamer, which was released in 2015 by Lake Union Publishing.
Before becoming a novelist, Barbara was a journalist specializing in articles and essays about home and family. Her work can be seen in a range of publications, including New York Magazine, The New York Times, Parents Magazine, and Westchester Magazine. Barbara will read from her latest book The Bluebell Girls. The novel is set in a lake house in the Adirondack Mountains. Growing up in Lake Summers, Jenna and her mother Sweet were known as the bluebell girls. Jenna was carefree, always running barefoot through their wildflower garden, and no one expected her to live in that house forever. But when Sweet’s health declines Jenna must return from her life near New York, and with her own daughter Sophie in tow, their family home comes to life again. |
AARON POOCHIGIAN earned a PhD in Classics from the University of Minnesota and an MFA in Poetry from Columbia University. His first book of poetry, The Cosmic Purr (Able Muse Press), was published in 2012, and his second book Manhattanite, which won the Able Muse Poetry Prize, came out in 2017. His third book, American Divine, won the Richard Wilbur Award and will come out in 2020. His thriller in verse, Mr. Either/Or, was released by Etruscan Press in the fall of 2017.

Poochigian consistently entertains, whether his theme is lamentation or celebration. |
