Lisa Linsalata will read from her writing on Wednesday, January 4 at 7:00 at the Salt Lake City Public Library Main Branc as part of the City Art reading series. Linsalata thinks of herself as a housewife poet, writing about the landscape of long-term marriage, and growing up in an eclectic family. She also writes about issues of shame around body and sexuality. She studied medieval, renaissance, and baroque music on flute and recorder at Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri. Two of her poems, "The Likes of You" and "Anniversary" have been made into short films by independent filmmaker Natalie Avery. She's had the fortunate opportunity to spend one month at Norcroft, a writing retreat for women in Minnesota, and she's been an invited reader at a fundraiser for UCASA - Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault. She has benefited greatly from attending the Writers At Work workshop several times, and has enjoyed volunteering in middle school and high school English classrooms. 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. __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Â Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or less. dsl.yahoo.com
