Hear works from the creators' mouth with Potsdam faculty sampler reading

10.29.09

SUNY Potsdam English and Communication faculty members Stephanie Coyne Deghett and Dr. Alan Steinberg will present readings of their works as part of the Creative Writing Faculty Sampler on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. in the College Writing Center located in Carson Hall 106.

The idea behind the Creative Writing Faculty Sampler is to have faculty currently teaching the creative writing courses present a sampling of their current and past work in a variety of genres.

Coyne DeGhett is a poet and fiction writer whose work explores life as it plays out along a stretch of northern border. She will be reading fiction and reading poetry from her recent chapbook, “No Longer Any Place But Here” published by Finishing Line Press.

She recently has had fiction in “Descant” and “The Potomac Review” and poetry in “The Cape Rock” and “The Café Review.” Her poem “Anthracite Dreams” was a 2009 award winner in the Spoon River Review Poetry Contest. She is the poetry editor for “Blueline” magazine.

Dr. Steinberg will read brief selections of fiction, poetry and drama. He teaches literature and writing at SUNY Potsdam.

He has published fiction (“Cry of the Leopard,” St. Martin's Press and “Divided,” Aegina Press), poetry (“Fathering,” Sarasota Poetry Press and “Ebstein on Reflection,” Idaho State Press) and drama (“The Road to Corinth,” Players Press).

Dr. Steinberg’s plays have been produced by The Players and Playwrights of Kansas City, The Palladium Theater, the Idaho State Theater Department, the Atlantis Playmakers, The New Jersey Dramatists and the Tri-State Actors Theatre, among others.

His radio play, “The Night Before the Morning After,” won the national award for radio drama sponsored by the American Radio Theatre.

The reading is free, and the public is invited to attend.
