Writers Read presents Charles Degelman

FALLBROOK – Writers Read at Fallbrook Library, a monthly literary reading, is please to present author Charles Degelman on Tuesday, Aug. 11. Degelman will read from and discuss his novels, which explore 1960 and 70s resistance, rebellion and love: "Gates of Eden" and "A Bowl Full of Nails."

Degelman is a Los Angeles-based author, editor and educator. His first novel, "Gates of Eden," garnered a silver medal from the 2012 Independent Publishers Book Awards. "A Bowl Full of Nails," published earlier this year by Harvard Square Editions, is set in the counterculture of the 1970s. It was a finalist in the Bellwether Competition, sponsored by author Barbara Kingsolver.

Writers Read is from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the library’s community room. It begins with open mic, and members of the public are invited to read their original writings, poetry and prose.

The Fallbrook Library is located at 124 S. Mission Road.

The next Writers Read is Tuesday, Sept. 8, and features poet Steve McDonald and his new poetry collection, "Golden Fish/Dark Pond."
