Between Two Rivers

By Aruna Kenyi

Published by The Telling Room

Aruna Kenyi is a native of Sudan who now lives in Maine. His story "The Photograph" appeared in the Telling Room anthology I Remember Warm Rain in 2007. Between Two Rivers, Kenyi's memoir just published by The Telling Room, is the story of his improbably journey from East Africa to Southern Maine--a story, still in progress, of the events, people, and places that have helped define him. Kenyi will discuss and read from his new memoir and answer questions.

Aruna Kenyi is a graduate of Portland High School and currently attends the University of Maine at Farmington where he is studying to be a high school health educator. All proceeds from his memoir will support his college fund.
