Genesee Reading Series – Joe Flaherty & Steve Huff

Now in its 34th year, the Genesee Reading Series is a smorgasbord for your literary palate. Come every month on the second Tuesday, and by the end of the year, you will have feasted on the work of 24 regional authors (some prominent, some emerging; writers of fiction, poetry, essay, creative nonfiction, memoir). It’s up close and personal in the intimate Performance Space upstairs – stay afterwards and talk to the authors while eating cookies.

Steven Huff is the author of two full books of poetry, most recently More Daring Escapes (Red Hen Press 2008) and a story collection A Pig in Paris (Big Pencil Press 2008). He teaches writing at RIT and in the Solstice MFA Program in Creative Writing at Pine Manor College. His fiction has won a Pushcart Prize and has been short-listed for the O. Henry Award; his poetry has been read by Garrison Keillor on The Writer’s Almanac and chosen by Ted Kooser for American Life in Poetry.

Joe Flaherty is the founding executive director of Writers & Books.
