Distinguished professor Peter Makuck and Fiction writing accordion player Dorothee Kocks will read from their work on March 15th at 7:00 at the Salt Lake Public Library's Main Branch as part of the City Art series. Peter Makuck is Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences at East Carolina University where he has edited Tar River Poetry since 1978. He has published three collections of poetry including Where We Live (BOA Editions, 1982), The Sunken Lightship (BOA Editions, 1990), and Against Distance (BOA Editions, 1997), three poetry chapbooks, two collections of short stories, and co-edited a book of essays, An Open World, on the Welsh poet Leslie Norris. His most recent book of short stories, Costly Habits (University of Missouri Press, 2002), was nominated for a PEN/Faulkner Award. In 1988 he was the recipient of the Brockman Award, given annually for the best collection of poetry by a North Carolinian, and the Charity Randall Citation from the International Poetry Forum. His essays, reviews, stories, and poems have appeared in The Hudson Review, The Sewanee Review, Poetry, and The Laurel Review. With his wife Phyllis, he lives on Bogue Banks, one of North Carolina's barrier islands. Once upon a time, there was a musical instrument - invented by Benjamin Franklin - that ravished its listeners, in a celestial way. Or so said a poet of the time. Come hear Utah Arts Council award winner Dorothee Kocks read from her new novel manuscript, a tale of France and the new United States, and of a woman who kept playing the instrument, even after it was banned. Set in 1802, the novel is called The Glass Harmonica, or, The Sensualist's Tale. The event is free and open to the public. City Art is sponsored by the Utah Arts Council, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Zoo, Arts, and Parks, and audience donations. The featured reading will be followed by an open reading. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
