A wonderful time was had by all at the Patriotic Readings and BBQ on Monday the 7th. We heard the Declaration of Independence, and from the works of Sojourner Truth, Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Martin Luther King, Jr. Despite the heat the rest of the day, by the time the food was served there was shade and a pleasant breeze on Schoolhouse Green!
Coming up this Monday, July 7th, we feature:
Christina M. Rau
Christina M. Rau is the founder and director of Poets In Nassau, a reading circuit on Long Island. Her poetry has most recently been published in Potomac Review, Examination Anthology, River Poets Journal, and Blue Earth Review. To justify her penchant for watching really bad reality television, she writes an infrequent column for RealityShack.com. Christina teaches English at Nassau Community College. She loves moonbeams and puppies. And sarcasm.
Herb Siegel
Herb Siegel is a great friend of the Gazebo- he is almost always present in our crowd, supporting and enjoying our programs. Herb was a CEO of major public companies, and the recipient of many professional certifications, awards, and articles. He holds a Ph.D. in International Law from Columbia. In between, he assembled a collection of poems titled, "Life Through My Glasses," an eclectic collection of some personal experiences and many universal observations that educate, challenge, and entertain and usually end with a touch of sardonic humor.
Chris Knopf
Chris Knopf writes the Sam Acquillo Hamptons Mystery series (The Last Refuge, Two Time, Head Wounds, Hard Stop) and a spin-off series starring Sam's sidekick, Jackie Swaitkowski, beginning with Short Squeeze: "More engaging hard-boiled crime fiction from a rising star." - Booklist.
His novel Elysiana (May, 2010), is a literary thriller set in New Jersey during the summer of 1969. Chris is also chairman of Mintz & Hoke, a marketing communications agency in Avon, CT.
