Please join us for a poetry reading from Glenn Alan Cheney's newest book, The Ruminist!Glenn Alan Cheney is a writer, translator, editor, and journalist. He lives in Hanover, Connecticut, with his wife, Solange. He earned a B.A. in Philosophy at Fairfield University in 1974, and an M.A. from that university's Graduate School of Communication in 1982. He went on to earn a B.A. in English-language literature at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, in Brazil, in 1991. In that same year, he took an M.F.A. in Writing at Vermont College.

Journey to Chernobyl is an account of his trip to Ukraine, where he talked with a wide variety of citizens who had been affected by the nuclear disaster there. Journey on the Estrada Real: Encounters in the Mountains of Brazil is about the people and culture along the oldest road in the Americas. Thanksgiving: The Pilgrims’ First Year in America, published by New London Librarium, has been well received by thousands of readers.
