Christy O’Callaghan is a writer and developmental editor with an MA in English from SUNY Albany. She is the former editor-in-chief for Barzakh Lit Mag and is now on the editorial staff with New American Press and West Trade Review. She served on the jury to select the 2023 NY State Author and is the 2023 SUNY Thayer Arts Fellowship finalist for writing. She spent twenty-two years as a community organizer and educator. Christy loves strange stories, plants, and lore.

Keith W. Willis graduated (long ago) with a degree in English Lit from Berry College, which has the distinction of being the world’s largest college campus. He now lives in the scenic Hudson Valley/Adirondack region of NY with his wife Patty. Keith is certain those rumbling noises attributed to Henry Hudson’s crew are really just the dragons grumbling.

This event will feature selections read by the writers, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Free and open to the public.
