THE FINAL WRITERS' VOICES AUTHORS READING OF THE YEAR WILL BE ON DECEMBER 4 IN WAIMEA
|
The spirit of the season will not be forgotten when the Hawaii Writers Guild presents its December Writers’ Voices reading on Wednesday, December 4 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Thelma Parker Memorial Library, 67-1209 Mamalahoa Hwy. in Waimea.
Writers’ Voices is an evening of original readings by Guild members. Readers at the December Writers’ Voices will include Donald J. Bingle, Nancy Baenziger, Steven Foster and Louise Riofrio.
Donald Bingle will lead off with a seasonal piece titled “Season’s Critiquings,” an imagined rejection letter to the author of “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Bingle, a new member of Hawaii Writers Guild, is a prolific author of novels and short stories in the thriller, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, horror, steampunk, and memoir genres. An attorney and author from the Chicago area, Bingle has recently added a Hawaii address to his resume.
Nancy Baenziger, who splits her time between the mainland and Hawaii, and her
intellectual endeavors between neurobiology and poetry, will be back on the Big Island with an offering of her Christmas and other seasonal poetry including works from an emerging book entitled Citizens in which various elements of her home area, the Columbia Gorge, both animate and inanimate, speak their minds.
Louise Riofrio, recently returned from a scientific conference in Paris, will read from her nonfiction book, The Speed of Light, which presents the hypothesis that the speed of light is slowing down. She will also discuss her new work-in-progress regarding cell size.
Steven Foster, author of Spirit of an Eagle, will read a scene entitled “Eagle Memories” about a dispirited Vietnam veteran’s remembered boyhood encounter with an eagle that brought him joy.
