Waterline Writers

Waterline Writers kicks off its 2016-17 season with a literary event at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept 18, in the art gallery at Water Street Studios, 160 S. Water St. in Batavia.

Waterline is proud to present five featured writers: Amy Friedman, Rick Holinger, Karen Halvorsen Schreck, Christine Swanberg and Joanne Zienty.

Amy Friedman's prose poetry captures average days just as distinctly as shattering break-ups; columnist and teacher Rick Holinger's essays pin controversial subjects to the page for closer examination; Karen Halvorsen Schreck reads from "Broken Ground," the Depression-era novel of a tragedy which intertwines a young white woman in the lives of Mexican migrant workers; Christine Swanberg shares a few treasures from a lifetime of poetry publication; and Joanne Zienty, Soon to be Famous Illinois Author of 2014, reads from her compelling novel "The Things We Save."

Admission is $5 or $3 for students.

Writers can join the 5-minute-limit open mic at 8:30 p.m., or check out the submission FAQ on the website, waterlinewriters.org

Waterline Writers monthly event is held at 7 p.m. on the third Sunday, September to May. Follow www.facebook.com/waterlinewriters/.
