Blue Heron Coffeehouse | 162 W 2nd St.

The Laureates Writers series will feature distinguished writer P.S. Duffy for its Tuesday, February 6 program at the Blue Heron Coffeehouse. The series is co-sponsored by Shipwreckt Books, Chapter Two Books, the Winona Public Library, and the Blue Heron Coffeehouse. P.S. Duffy’s presentation begins at 7 pm and will be followed by an open mic session open to the public.

P.S. (Penny) Duffy has lived in Rochester with her husband, Joe, for 34 years. Critics agree that her novel The Cartographer of No Man’s Land (W.W. Norton, New York, 2013), later published in Canada, Great Britain, Taiwan, and Israel, was outstanding. Set in the trenches of France and a fishing village in Nova Scotia during the First World War, it was a Barnes and Noble Discover selection and a Booksellers of America pick, a New York Post and Oprah Book of the Week, a national LibraryReads selection, and a finalist for the international Dayton Literary Peace Prize, which recognizes the power of fiction to foster peace.
