The monthly Plum City Readings, hosted by Literary Cleveland, which feature readings by authors from northeast Ohio and beyond whose work is published by independent presses. They come to a close for this season this week at Loganberry Books with authors Daisy Hernández, Sara Levine and Daniel Moysaenko.

Hernández is a Chicago-based nonfiction writer and associate professor of creative writing at Northwestern University, whose new book Citizenship: Notes on an American Myth explores the fraught concepts of citizenship that have become increasingly contentious, as she shares her own family’s story as Colombian and Cuban immigrants to the U.S.

Levine is a fiction writer, also from Chicago, whose work includes the novels Treasure Island!!! and her latest, The Hitch, as well as a collection of short stories called Short Dark Oracles. She chairs the writing program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

And Northeast Ohio-based writer Moysaenko, a refugee from Ukraine, is a poet whose just-released collection is titled Overtakelessness, which won the Academy of American Poets First Book Award.

The reading is followed by an afterparty at Lit Cleveland’s offices across the street from Loganberry Books. Go here for tickets.
