Princeton Porchfest remains a marquee spring fling

By Joe Emanski

P

YEARS

orchfests are a trend throughout the area and indeed, throughout the U.S. But perhaps no Porchfest is trending quite as hard as Princeton Porchfest, which has grown in recent years into a major event.

Since January, the Arts Council of Princeton has been recruiting homeowners and musical performers to provide venues and entertainment. Now the Arts Council and its partners and sponsors are aiming to take the festivities to another level.

The first ever Porchfest was held, as legend has it, in Ithaca, New York in 2007.

The idea of a neighborhood porchfront music festival exploded in popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic, for reasons that are likely to be obvious.

Princeton Porchfest 2026, the fifth annual version of the event, promises to be the biggest ever, featuring live music on 18 “stages,” known 364 other days of the years as the porches of local residents’ homes.

Musicians and vocalists from around the region will be preparing to make those stages their own. The Princeton Echo counts 89 musical performances scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, April 25, including a closing concert by local blues band Tony and the Trees in Hinds Plaza starting at 5:15 p.m.

That does not include Story and Verse, a

ANNIVERSARY

609-584-5252 www.priornami.com 1666 Hamilton Ave. Hamilton, NJ 08629

monthly poetry and storytelling open mic program from the Arts Council that is set to be part of Porchfest this year. It’s scheduled to take place in Hinds Plaza from noon to 1:45 p.m.

Seasoned writers and first-time performers are invited to take part in Story and Verse, which is billed as “a welcoming open mic designed to showcase a range of literary and performing arts.” Organizers hope exposure to the event at Porchfest will draw a diverse audience of creatives and community members.

In the event of inclement weather, the program will be held in the library’s community room. But that’s not how it goes for the rest of Porchfest; if it rains, bring an umbrella. Princeton Porchfest is a rainor-shine event.

This year’s sponsors include Donnelly Media (publishers of the Princeton Echo), as well as the Municipality of Princeton, HDG, Witherspoon Media Group, WPRB Princeton, Experience Princeton, Graduate by Hilton Princeton, Palmer Square, Avalon Princeton on Harrison, Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty, Corcoran Sawyer Smith, The Car Store, NJM, Zenleaf, Small World Coffee, Jammin’ Crepes, Tiger Treats and several individual donors.

Is Porchfest walkable?

The Arts Council says that it looks to organize porch venues in clusters throughout town, giving attendees an opportunity to choose a cluster that will be convenient and allow them to visit more than one.

What about parking?

YA author makes incisive cuts with ‘Girl Reflected in Knife’

By Joe Emanski

F

or more than a decade, Anica Mrose Rissi carried fragments of a story with her on walks through Princeton neighborhoods, parks and plazas.

On April 7, those fragments will take final form as “Girl Reflected in Knife,” a young adult novel that will be published by Penguin Random House. The author says the book is one of the most ambitious works of her career — and one shaped in part by her years living and writing in and around Princeton.

Rissi will be at Princeton Public Library on April 7 for a launch party for “Girl Reflected in Knife.” She will be in conversation with author Emily X.R. Pan and members of the PPL’s teen advisory board. The party will start at 6:30 p.m.

Now that the book is complete, she reflects that in some ways, “Girl Reflected in Knife”

is exactly the book she set out to write. And yet, she endured a 12-year process from start to finish.

“The book was a slow accumulation of questions, ideas, experiences and ambitions that could not have been rushed,” she says. “I needed that time to try, fail and experiment. The story needed that time to become fully itself, and to help me become the writer who could pull it off.”

The novel follows Destiny, a 17-year-old girl navigating heartbreak, instability and a spiraling mental health crisis. Rissi describes it this way: “‘Girl Reflected in Knife’ is an exploration of love, heartbreak, addiction, mental health issues, friendship and survival.

It’s a modern fractured fairy tale about the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive—and what happens when those stories and our lived realities no longer align. I’ve touched on some of these topics in my previous books, but I was excited to

really go deep on them here.”

Rissi, 47, now lives in nearby Skillman, but her creative life remains closely tied to Princeton, where she once lived on Moran Avenue, within walking distance of Princeton Public Library, Labyrinth Books, Witherspoon Woods and Mountain Lakes.

“I always walk with a notebook and pen in my pocket,” Rissi says. “Because there’s something about being in motion that helps shake ideas loose.”

It was in those places — particularly on long walks with her dog Sweet Potato and in the library’s quiet rooms — that “Girl Reflected in Knife” took shape.

R

issi moved to Princeton in 2015 after more than a decade in New York City, where she had built a career as a fiction editor. She married her husband — composer and Princeton University faculty member Jeff Snyder — and

began establishing herself as a full-time writer.

All those shifts, she says, got her thinking about the story she told herself about who she was — a process that became intertwined with her writing. “I was revising my own story as I wrote the first draft of Destiny’s,” she says.

Rissi had begun jotting down ideas for “Girl Reflected in Knife” in 2012. But she did not start drafting it until about a year after her move to Princeton.

Over time, the manuscript went through multiple drafts and structural transformations. Rissi experimented with voice, pacing and narrative structure, gradually building the layered, unconventional form that defines the final book.

She says the novel’s structure reflects its subject matter: as Destiny’s mental state becomes increasingly unstable, the narrative itself begins to shift, blending her reality with delusion and imagination.

Rissi says those choices were designed to create an immersive — and sometimes unsettling — reading experience.

There came a point when she cut around 12,000 words out of the manuscript, stripping expository and ruminative passages down to their essence.

“This holds the reader at more of a distance, while also pulling them in closer: inviting them to pick up the breadcrumbs

the narrator drops and discover the path on their own,” she says. “An invitation that, I hope, makes the reader feel trusted.”

The writing process was not always smooth. Rissi says there were moments when she considered abandoning the project, but ultimately felt compelled to continue.

“This book would not let me go,” she says.

B

efore becoming a full-time writer, Rissi spent more than a decade working in publishing. Her entry into the industry, she says, was largely accidental.

After graduating from college, she moved to New York City and worked in a cheese shop while searching for a career path. A chance connection led to an interview at Scholastic, where she was hired as an editorial assistant.

“I had no idea what anyone in the publishing industry did,” she says.

At Scholastic, she worked under editor David Levithan and gained experience across a wide range of children’s and young adult books. She later held editorial positions at Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins, eventually becoming an executive editor. In those roles, she collaborated closely with authors, helping them develop and refine their work.

“It was such a gift to be let in on those

“Girl Reflected in Knife” by Anica Mrose Rissi will be published by Penguin Random House on April 7, 2026.

writers’ creative processes,” she says.

That experience shaped her understanding of writing as a process of exploration and revision.

Although she left her editorial career before the publication of her first book, the lessons she learned continue to influence her approach.

“No writer sits down and writes a perfect first draft,” she says. “Revision is a huge and crucial part of the writing process.”

She did not grow up dreaming of being an author. “When I was a teenager, my passion was politics. I wanted to go to law school and become a senator or perhaps a supreme court justice,” she says. “When I got older and learned more about what those jobs (and paths to them) are like, I realized law and politics weren’t the right careers for me.”

She didn’t consider writing a book of her own until she was in her 30s, and even then, she had no intention of seeing it published. “(I had) the idea that experiencing the ups and downs of drafting and revising would make me an even better editor,” she says.

That mission, she accomplished. But going through the process also opened new creative pathways. “The more I revised that first manuscript, the more my dreams for it grew,” she says.

Rissi’s first published book, “Anna, Banana, and the Friendship Split” (2015), launched a chapter book series for younger readers. She has since published multiple picture books, including “Watch Out for Wolf!” and “Love, Sophia on the Moon,” as well as middle-grade and young adult titles.

Her 2023 novel “Wishing Season” drew on her childhood in coastal Maine. She grew up on Deer Isle, an insular fishing community known for its storytelling traditions.

Though she was born in Maine and went to school in Deer Isle, she never felt fully accepted by her community.

“My parents and grandparents are ‘from away’ (born elsewhere), so I am not quite considered from there by many of the people I’ve known my entire life,” she says.

She describes “Wishing Season” as a book about siblings, friendship, grief, isolation, change and hope.

“It is also a love letter to the place where I grew up, its people and its landscape—to the saltwater-spruce-granite air, the pets and wild animals I loved, and the community of storytellers that shaped me,” she says. “And it’s about what it’s like to live in and love a place that’s an essential part of who you are, but where you don’t always fully belong—what it’s like to sometimes feel like an outsider in your own hometown.”

“Girl Reflected in Knife” is set in a more transient and unstable environment, reflecting the life of its protagonist, who has moved frequently with a parent struggling with addiction.

“Destiny has a very different upbringing from mine. Her mother, who struggles with addiction, has moved them from town to town, bad boyfriend to bad boyfriend, for most of Destiny’s life. At the start of the novel, when Destiny is seventeen, she is experiencing a fragile new stability—her mother is newly sober, they have a promising new living situation in a promising new town, and Destiny, for the first time ever, is falling in love.”

Destiny starts to believe she might be on the path to a “normal” life until her boyfriend casually breaks her heart.

“Her heartbreak and grief send her spiraling and set off the mental health crisis around which the novel is built,” Rissi says.

E

ven as “Girl Reflected in Knife” reaches readers, Rissi is already working on multiple new projects. Her day-to-day creative life remains rooted in the Princeton area.

Her husband, Jeff Snyder, is the director of electronic music at Princeton University. He teaches classes and also leads PLOrk, or the Princeton Laptop Orchestra.

He also designs and builds unusual electronic instruments and plays in various musical groups, including the band Owen Lake and the Tragic Loves. Owen Lake is Snyder’s electro-country alter ego.

Rissi grew up playing violin — her mother was a violin teacher — and she plays fiddle and writes lyrics for Owen Lake and the Tragic Loves. The group has an album slated to come out this summer.

She is developing another young adult

novel that explores similar themes — including love, addiction and perception — through a different narrative lens.

She is also collaborating with illustrator Heather Fox on a new graphic chapter book series, “Inspector Quack,” which is expected to debut in 2028.

“The Inspector Quack series is like if Amelia Bedelia starred in ‘Knives Out’ as a duck who helps look for things. Plus, butt jokes,” she says.

The project has its own Princeton origins: Rissi met Fox through the Princeton Children’s Book Festival, and the collaboration grew out of that connection. Rissi hopes the Princeton Children’s Book Festival will return by then, so that she and Fox can sign books at the festival where they first met.

She co-authors a free quarterly newsletter, The Eavesdrop, focused on the writing process and publishing industry. “In each issue, we share the ins and outs of our creative processes, go deep on craft, and nerd out about publishing and other obsessions,” she says.

The Eavesdrop comes out four times a year. The most recent newsletter was released in March. “We’re talking about plot,

from the ways we define, conceptualize, and approach it, to the strategies that save us when we’re stuck,” she says.

Readers can find previous issues and subscribe (for free) at thisistheeavesdrop. com.

Rissi is also helping to launch a new event series, Writers on Writing, at Labyrinth Books, with friend and author Amy Jo Burns. Writers on Writing will be aimed at bringing together authors and readers for in-depth conversations about craft.

The first event, scheduled for May 28, will focus on how writers begin their work. Authors Anna-Marie McLemore and Princeton’s own Dexter Palmer will be the guests.

“The writing life is full of ups and downs: creative highs and lows, book deals, book rejections — yes, even for those of us who have been published multiple times,” Rissi says.

But she loves the challenge of the writing itself. “It’s a puzzle, and the puzzle constantly changes shape. Each time I start a new project, I don’t really know how to write it yet. I have to accept I won’t know how to write it well until it’s done,” she says.

Capital Health Welcomes Dozens of Area

HIGH SCHOOLERS FOR A FUTURE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS CAREER DAY Capital Health recently welcomed 38 students from the Foundation Academy High School in Trenton, New Jersey to Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell for a Future Young Professionals Career Day. Students had the opportunity to explore careers in health care and interact with Capital Health representatives from nearly a dozen departments. The event was hosted by the Capital Health Young Professionals Committee and held in conjunction with the school’s Health Care Week, part of its Career Exploration Month in February.

Capital Health President and CEO Al Maghazehe joined the group for lunch, offering students the chance to connect directly with leadership.

“Part of Capital Health’s commitment to our community is supporting our young people,” said Al Maghazehe, President and CEO of Capital Health. “Health care offers many opportunities for meaningful careers, and it’s my hope that we can help young people in the communities we serve learn about the many possibilities available to them in health care, including at Capital Health. This event was especially meaningful because it was planned by our Young Professionals Committee. Their enthusiasm for sharing their knowledge and excitement about careers in health care is inspiring and gives me great hope for the future of leadership here at Capital Health.”

“Experiences like this help make the future feel real for our scholars,” said Nwasha Edu, Senior Manager of Workforce at Foundation Academy Collegiate. “By connecting directly with professionals across so many areas of health care, students are able to see how their interests, classroom learning, and personal goals can translate into meaningful, family-sustaining careers.

We’re grateful to Capital Health and their Young Professionals for opening their doors, sharing their journeys, and investing in the next generation of health care leaders.”

During their visit, students explored the wide range of career pathways available within the health care industry and learned how classroom learning translates into real world roles in patient care, administration, hospital operations, and more.

Students participated in interactive sessions in a “round robin” format with Capital Health employees from various departments including Radiology, Nursing, Marketing and Public Relations,

Risk Management, Pharmacy, Food and Nutrition Services, Maintenance and Facilities, Medical Administration, Information Technology, Rehabilitation, and Emergency Medical Services.

Department representatives answered student questions and provided educational materials about potential future careers.

Students were also given the opportunity to tour Capital Health’s Mobile Simulation Lab, gaining hands on insight into a patient care experience.

Through conversations and behind the scenes exposure, students learned about the educational requirements for a wide range of roles that support the high-quality care at Capital Health.

This event reflects Capital Health’s continued commitment to the local community, workforce development, health care education, and inspiring the next generation of health care professionals.

Capital Health is the Central New Jersey/Lower Bucks County region’s leader in providing progressive, quality patient care with significant investments in physicians, nurses and staff, as well as advanced technology. Comprised of two hospitals (Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton and Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell), a Hamilton outpatient facility, and an extensive network of primary and specialty care practices across the region, Capital Health is a dynamic health care resource accredited by DNV.
