Riverwood Poetry Series presents . . .

John Jeffrey and David Leff

John Jeffrey is editor of the internet-based CT Poet Newsletter. His fiction and poetry have appeared in journals such as The Fairfield Review, Bent Pin Quarterly, and the Connecticut River Review, among others, and he has read at numerous venues around the state. Years ago, John earned a double degree in writing and literature, but he has spent his adult life trying to unlearn what he was taught.

David K. Leff is a freelance writer from Collinsville, Connecticut. By turns lyrical, angry, and philosophical, his poems are always elegant in language, accurate in observation, and passionate in point of view. His essays and fiction have appeared in newspapers and magazines, and he has written two non-fiction books: The Last Undiscovered Place, a Connecticut Book Award finalist (2004) and Deep Travel (2009). A graduate of the University Of Connecticut School of Law, Leff was a Deputy Commissioner with the Connecticut DEP until his retirement in 2006.
