Join us on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 7 p.m. at The Felician University Little Theater, 230 Montross Avenue, Rutherford, NJ 07070, for a fantastic poetry reading, featuring the poet Amanda Quaid, plus the best open mic in New York and New Jersey.
September is National Translation Month! To celebrate it, John J. Trause has prepared a presentation on William Carlos Williams’ poetry translated into French in 1963. Please join us for this special presentation as well.
PLEASE NOTE: Our RWB 18 launch will take place on October 8th because of Jewish holidays. Don’t miss our launch party (the best reading of the year!) and the occasion to purchase your own copy of this tremendous book.
After working in theater for most of her life, AMANDA QUAID began writing poetry in 2023. One of her first poems, “Patient and Daughter Appear Closely Bonded,” was awarded the Bridport Prize, selected by Roger Robinson. Her debut collection, No Obvious Distress, a finalist for the Jake Adam York Prize, is out now with John Murray Press and was named Memoir of the Month by The Independent. She was raised in New York City, where she works as a dialect coach and lives with her husband and daughter. She founded and co-edits the ekphrastic poetry journal Metphrastics.

Directions to take the 190 bus from NYC
Go to the Port Authority Bus Terminal on 40 street & 8th Avenue. If you take the subway, the A and C are the closest. Buy a ticket in advance for the 190 express bus to Rutherford, Zone 3, at the window or from the machines (you can't buy from the driver). One adult ticket costs $5.15.
Go to Gate 232 (upstairs); there might be a line as it will be rush hour by the time you get there. Get on the Rutherford Express line (second door). The reading starts at 7 p.m., but we recommend getting on the bus around 6 p.m. to account for traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel.
Tell the driver you need to get off at Montross Avenue, and they will stop there. It's the 3rd bus stop after the Rutherford Train Station. If you get to Carmita Avenue, that's too far.
The Little Theater is just a short walk from the bus stop uphill on Montross Avenue. Cross Union Avenue and walk uphill on Montross about 5 minutes. The building is in the back of a large parking lot across from Felician University.
See you all in person on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 7 PM!
