On Tuesday, September 4, at 6:30pm Joan Hall will give a Connecticut Authors Trail talk.

Joan Joffe Hall learned to read at her kitchen table in New York City at age four while her mother’s back was turned, and the next year taught the boy downstairs how to read. After further education at Vassar and Stanford, she taught for forty years, mostly at the University of Connecticut, where she had a joint appointment in English and Women’s Studies, teaching literature, film, and creative writing. Joan Joffe Hall has published many collections of poetry and prose, including The Rift Zone  (finalist for the William Carlos Williams Prize), Alice James’s Romance & Capitalism at the Movies nominated for a Pulitzer Prize), and In Angled Light  (Antrim House); and a volume of stories, Summer Heat  (Kutenai Press).

For college, he continued his studies in organ and ensued a profession in Church Music and became a director of music.

Since then, he has surrounded himself with the topic of he American Civil War and the Gettysburg Campaign.
