A special evening event at the Camden Opera House on Saturday, November 7 will kick off a year-long celebration by the Maine Literary Festival of New Voices in America reflecting Cross-Cultural Experience.
The Festival will present 13 writers from diverse cultures and ethnic experience, whose novels, non-fiction and poetry are capturing the attention of readers and critics with their beauty, insight and reflection. This evening of presentations, readings and discussions will launch a full year of events and programs culminating in the 2010 Maine Literary Festival.
Featured authors include Shilpa Agarwal, Francisco Aragón, Carol Willette Bachofner, Ashley Bryan, Jaed Coffin, Eugene Gloria, Judy Hakola, Reza Jalali, John Muthyala, Pat Nyhan, Rishi Reddi, Allen Sockabasin and Jan Pieter van Voorst van Beest. Photos and biographies of all these writers can be viewed online at http://www.maineliteraryfestival.org/.
"The evening is rich and full; the topic is far-reaching; and the participant authors and poets will provide an exciting foundation for the year-long celebration of the literature of cross-cultural experience," said Maryanne Shanahan, chair of the Maine Literary Festival. "I am delighted that we are able to present this wonderful topic and give it full consideration over the next twelve months."
The evening will begin at 6:30PM and will end with a reception -- including book signings -- for authors and participants. General admission is $50 or $30 for students with valid ID.
