Gene Hayworth Profile

I am the proprietor of Inkberry Books, and hold an accredited MLS from Syracuse University as well as an MA in English Literature from the University of Rochester, and a BA in English from the University of North Carolina Greensboro.

I published my first book, Fever Vision: the life and works of Coleman Dowell, with Dalkey Archive Press in 2007. In 2010 I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to teach business librarianship at Humboldt Universtät in Berlin, Germany.

My translation of the non-fiction work by Jens Mühling, A Journey through Russia: Encounters with People and Places, was published by Haus Publishing in the U.K. in the summer of 2014, followed by my translation of Klaus Reichert's Turkish diary: travels in an undiscovered land in 2016, and Black Earth : a Journey through Ukraine in 2019.

I regularly write the Arts Student of the Week feature for the Courier, and also cover other community events and education stories.
