Writers Jennifer Sinor and Kathe Lison will read from their work at the Salt
Lake City Public Library Main Branch on May 3rd at 7:00 P.M. as part of the
City Art Reading Series.
Kathe Lison is a Wisconsin native who has lived or traveled extensively in
France, Morocco and China. She has an M.A. in Literature and Creative Writing
and will receive her M.F.A in Creative Nonfiction from Goucher College in
2006. Her essays or poetry have appeared or are forthcoming in Alligator
Juniper, Clackamas Literary Review, Primavera, Under the Sun, Porcupine
Literary Magazine, Junction Magazine and A Closer Look, an anthology published
by McGraw Hill. Currently, she lives near Logan, Utah, where she teaches
academic and creative writing at Utah State University and does graphic design
for Isotope: A Journal of Literary Nature and Science Writing. She also
reviews literary magazines for Newpages.com. Currently, she's at work on a
book-length piece of nonfiction about her family entitled Still Under An
August Night: A Memoir of Murder and Love.
Jennifer Sinor's research focuses on women's lifewriting--non-canonical texts
produced by and about women. Her book, The Extraordinary Work of Ordinary
Writing: Annie Ray's Diary, (U of Iowa Press, 2000) is a blend of the
critical and the creative. It examines the diary of her great, great, great
aunt, a woman who homesteaded in Dakotas in the late nineteenth century. Her
creative work has appeared in Fourth Genre, Rosebud Literary Magazine,
Interdisciplinary Studies of Literature and the Environment, and a chapbook
entitled Tazzini (Blue Scarab Press).
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.
