“Write America,” a new author series spearheaded by writer and Quogue resident Roger Rosenblatt, features award-winning, nationally-renowned authors, and new and emerging writers in readings and conversation each week about how books and art might bridge the deep divisions in our nation.

Hosted by Book Revue, an independent bookstore located in Huntington Village, conversations will be streamed on Book Revue’s Crowdcast channel.

The series launches Monday, February 1, with a conversation between poets and former United States Poet Laureates Rita Dove and Billy Collins at 7 p.m., and continues every Monday through September.

Other writers participating in “Write America” in the weeks to come include Major Jackson, Alice McDermott, Garry Trudeau, Alan Alda, Amy Hempel, Natalie Diaz, Paul Auster and many others. Register for these virtual events, which are all free to attend, at bookrevue.com/write-america-series.
