Kent Quaney and Company Reading from New Works
November 15, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for an evening of readings from works in progress with Kent Quaney and friends. We celebrated the release of Quaney’s One Breath from Drowning last year. Come listen to a reading from his next writing project. An Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Creative Writing at AUM, Quaney will be joined by two other talents: poet Katherine Gaffney, whose new collection, Fool in a Blue House, was published by the University of Tampa Press last year, winning the Tampa Review Prize for Poetry, and Garrett Ashley, whose short story collection Before the Snakes Came won the 2022 Moon City Press Short Fiction Award. This will be a fun evening of listening and discussion of the best kind.
