John Domini, Scott Abbott, and Kevin Holdsworth at City Art, Wednesday the 19th

14 Oct '16

ForImmediate Release Contact: City Art Director Joel Long: joeltlong(a)yahoo.com City Art Presents John Domini, ScottAbbott, and Kevin Holdsworth Salt Lake Public Library Main Branch 210 East 400 South Salt Lake City UT 84111 Wednesday October 19th, 7:00—9:00 P.M. Writers John Domini, Scott Abbott,and Kevin Holdsworth will read their work on October 19th at the Salt Lake City Public Library at 7:00 P.M. aspart of the City Art Reading Series. John Domini has won awards in allgenres, with fiction in Paris Review and non-fiction in The New York Times. The Times praised his work as"dreamlike... grabs hold of both reader and character," and AlanCheuse, of NPR's "All Things Considered," described it as "wittyand biting."Domini’s grants include an NEA Fellowship and an IowaMajor Artist Award. He has taught at Harvard, Northwestern, and elsewhere, andmakes his home in Des Moines. Scott Abbott: "This is not amemoir. Rather, this is a fraternal meditation on the question 'Are we friends,my brother?’ The story is uncertain, the characters are in flux, the voices areplural, the photographs are as troubled as the prose. This is not a memoir.” Thus Scott Abbott introduces the reader to hisexploration of the life of his brother John, a man who died of AIDS in 1991 atthe age of forty. Writing about his brother, he finds he is writing abouthimself and about the warm-hearted, educated, and homophobic LDS family thatforged the core of his identity. Winner of the book manuscript prize in creativenonfiction in the Utah Arts Council’s Original Writing Competition, ScottAbbott is professor of humanities, philosophy, and integrated studies at UtahValley University. Kevin Holdsworth: In essays that combinememoir with biography of place, Kevin Holdsworth creates a public history ofthe land he calls home: Good Water, Utah. The high desert of south-central Utahis at the heart of the stories he tells here—about the people, the “survivorsand casualties” of the small, remote town—and is at the heart of his own story.Holdsworthalso explores history at a personal level: how Native American history ispreserved by local park officials; how Mormon settlers adapted to remote,rugged places; how small communities attract and retain those less likely tothrive closer to population centers; and how he became involved in localpolitics. He confronts the issues of land use and misuse in the West, from thelack of water to greed and corruption over natural resources, but alsoconsiders life’s simple pleasures like the value of scenery and the importanceof occasionally tossing a horseshoe. Kevin Holdsworth is the author of Big Wonderful:Notes from Wyoming and Good Water. His work has appeared in numerousperiodicals, including Cimarron Review, Post Road, Creative Nonfiction, andDenver University Law Review. In 2009 he was awarded the Wyoming Arts Councilcreative writing fellowship for fiction. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, andson, Chris, in south-central and southern Utah.
