InDigest 1207 Tonight

It's that time of the month again. Oh yes, it's time for the InDigest 1207 Reading Series. Tonight we are proud to present J.C. Hallman (The Hospital for Bad Poets [Milkweed]), Paul Harding (Tinkers [Bellvue Press]) and Dana Rossi.

The reading will be happening at (le) Poisson Rouge in New York (158 Bleecker St. between Sullivan and Thompson). All readings start at 7 with happy hour starting at 6. That's right, happy hour. Be there at 6. Book by reading authors will be available at the reading as will authors for the signing of artifacts.

J.C. Hallman grew up in Southern California. He is the author of The Chess Artist, The Devil is a Gentleman, and The Hospital for Bad Poets. A book about modern utopias, In Eutopia, is forthcoming from St. Martin's Press in Spring 2010.

Paul Harding has an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. He has taught writing at Harvard and The University of Iowa. He lives near Boston with his wife and two sons.

Dana Rossi is a freelance writer and stage manager. She has written for Time Out New York, Broken Pencil, New York Press, and a couple of websites here and there. She recently won a New York Press Association Award for a feature article she did on actors understudying celebs on Broadway.

On the theater side, she has most recently stage managed at Manhattan Theatre Source and at Soho Playhouse in the NYC Fringe Festival and Encore Series (where she also sound designed her first show). When she's not stage managing, writing articles, or comparing the state of the economy to Back to the Future Part II, she works as a story analyst for Sony Pictures Television
