Local authors to be celebrated at next
‘Midnight in Florence’ Literary Salon
Writers on the River pres-
ents its next “Midnight in
Florence” Literary Salon on
Saturday, Feb. 2, from 6:30
to 8:30 p.m., at the Flor-
ence Regional Arts Alliance
(FRAA), 120 Maple Street in
Old Town Florence.
Designed as convivial
gatherings, literary salons
celebrate local writers and
the literary arts.
Following the tradition of
Gertrude Stein’s infamous
1920s Parisian salons show-
cased in the movie “Mid-
night in Paris,” the event
spotlights local authors who
talk about writing and share
excerpts from their books.
An Open Mic follows,
during which writers of all
levels and genres are invited
to read, recite or sing ex-
cerpts from their published
or unpublished work.
Bay area author, poet and
storyteller Jack Karasch, a
relative Florence newcomer,
will appear as the “Featured
Author,” sharing passag-
es from “Mounting Olym-
pus” and “The Copyist —
Cezanne’s Shadow,” the latest
of his nine novels.
Hosted by FRAA cre-
ative writing instructor and
award-winning
journal-
ist-author Catherine J. Ro-
urke, the salon is free and
open to the public. A $5 do-
nation is suggested to sup-
port FRAA for providing the
space and refreshments.
Rourke will read an ex-
cerpt from her journalism
memoir, “Forgive Us Our
Press Passes — Con-fessions
of a Modern-Day Muckrak-
er.”
“Literary salons inspire,
unite and celebrate all writ-
ers while providing cultural
enrichment and entertain-
ment,” Rourke said. “Every-
one is invited to join the fun.”
Writers who wish to par-
ticipate in the open mic must
arrive at 6 p.m. to sign up.
Reading slots are limited to
five minutes on a first-come
basis. Call 541-708-2120 or
email CJRedi-tor@gmail.
com to preregister.
