An Evening with authors Phuc Tran & Gibson Fay-LeBlanc

Maine writer and memoirist Phuc Tran (author of Sigh, Gone) and poet Gibson Fay-LeBlanc will share the stage on Saturday, April 27 at 7:00pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick for a fundraiser to support literacy education.

The evening will feature Tran and Fay-LeBlanc reading from their work and in conversation about their inspiration and influences. A reception and meet-and-greet with the authors will follow. All proceeds will benefit Midcoast Literacy, a non-profit organization that provides free literacy programs for people of all ages, including both native English speakers and the growing number of multilingual families in the area.

Tickets are $35 per person and can be purchased from Midcoast Literacy at www.midcoastliteracy.org or by calling 207-443-6384 (Mon-Thurs).

Midcoast Literacy’s Author-to-Author series brings Maine writers together for conversations about craft and the power of words. Tran and Fay-LeBlanc, who are longtime friends, each come to being a Maine writer from very different perspectives and write in different genres. Their conversation will include insights on how their influences and experiences shape their process as writers. Copies of the authors’ books will be available for purchase at a reception following the event.
