Writers' Tea 2012

Location: "The Links at Union Vale" >>

Registration form to print and mail >>

Directions >>

Featured Authors:

<< Eamon Grennan

"Whether he is describing the flight of swifts over Dublin, the sight of his children in yellow macs climbing over cliff rocks, or his passage through ‘a bright bead-curtain of rain,’ Grennan is a writer of plainspoken reverence. ... his poetry, whose effect is like afternoon light hitting ordinary objects: it illuminates, clarifies, and directs our gaze toward what it is we love but often overlook." - The New Yorker

 

Sheila Isenberg >>

“With Muriel’s War, Sheila Isenberg has performed an act of historic justice, at long last giving Muriel Gardiner the credit she deserves for her acts of courage and selflessness.” - The Jerusalum Post

 

 

<< Susanne Vromen

"Suzanne Vromen's deeply moving book about Jewish children hidden in Belgian convents during World War II is an extraordinary study of human courage, devotion, and transcendent spirit. Capturing the voices of those who were saved and of their rescuers, Vromen illuminates history and offers us inspiration." --Susannah Heschel, author of Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus
