Reception to follow

Independent publishers are on the front lines of discovering new talents in and voices in the literary world, and Greenlight is proud to feature several of the best and brightest for this evening of readings and performance. The featured authors and their publishers have taken part in "Face Out: Maximizing the Visibility of Emerging Writers", a technical assistance and regrant program of The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses, made possible through funds provided by the Jerome Foundation with additional support from The New York Community Trust. Ranging from a memoir of dance activism to letterpress chapbook poetry, from exploration of spatial meanings in architecture to poetry as visual performance, these new works aim to amaze and challenge, and their authors present their work in various forms this evening. A wine and cheese reception will follow the presentations.
