Summer for Moths

Rivers, Henry: - Henry Rivers is the not-so-secret pen name of children's author and illustrator J.R. Potter best known for his award-winning supernatural series Thomas Creeper that follows the adventures of a mortician's apprentice turned detective for the dead. His graphic novel work has been published by Image Comics, and in 2024 he received the Denis Diderot Emerging Artist Award to spend two weeks as writer-in-residence at Chateau Orquevaux in France.

Passionate about literacy and sharing wonder, Potter was recently hired by Heinemann Publishing, a division of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, to create stories about empathy to be used in schools across the country. As a working musician and songwriter by day (and night), he loves to play at the intersection of words and music. He lives in Upperville, Virginia.

A Summer for Moths is the opportunity to combine those two loves in a synesthetic experience that will mix live readings with live music.
