 Local authors Celebrate the end of COVID restrictions – LITERARY SALON IS BACK

On June 14 at 7 pm upstairs at The Malted Barley, 42 High Street, downtown Westerly RI, Literary Salon returns. It’s back. The COVID-19 hasn’t stopped local authors from putting the shut-in time to good literary use.

Welcome the Book Launch of Harriet Goodman Grayson’s “Rockaway Riptides” the story of high school seniors, students and musicians, finding their way through the turbulent 1960’s. Relive the past or find out more about those times with political protesting against the Vietnam War and racial unrest. The center is a group of young people learning to navigate those uncertain times.

During these times people returned to book reading. What is better than a book. Books of all genres will be available for sale.

The event is sponsored by The Malted Barley & Westerly-based Ocean Breeze Press (www.oceanbreezepress.net)

Support local business as well as local authors. The Westerly community has long attracted a wide diversity of artists. Loving the sea and surf has attracted generations of painters, poets and writers. Celebrate this wonderful convergence by joining the artistic community the week on June 14.
