The acclaimed literary series Writers Read returns to Kingston to explore the complex, often messy, and deeply personal ties that bind generations. Join us for an afternoon of live, 5-minute storytelling centered around the theme: “Inheritance.”

What do we keep, and what do we try to leave behind? From DNA and family secrets to physical heirlooms and cultural legacies, “Inheritance” invites a diverse group of voices to examine the weight of what has been passed down to them.

The event promises a mix of true personal stories ranging from the heartbreaking to the hilarious and will feature readings by celebrated regional and Hudson Valley writers, including Charlotte Adamis, Jamie Brickhouse, Kathy Curto, John Kenney, Anthony Murphy, and Irene O’Garden.

Following the readings, the audience is invited to meet and mingle with the writers and each other during an hour-long charcuterie and wine reception.
