Poets Lyle Wiggins and Chris Ames will reading from their poems February 8th at the Salt Lake Public Library, Main Branch at 7:00 P.M. as part of the City Art Reading Series. Lyle Wiggins was born in Ogden, Utah where he grew up hiking nearby foothills and canyons. He has worked as a musician, teacher, truck driver, custodian, professional genealogist, small business owner, systems analyst, data processing supervisor, and facility manager. He is currently Manager of Library Services at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. He, and his wife, Jane, live in an old red brick house near the canyons he now hikes, and where he loves to gather his children and grandchildren. His first published works were narrative family histories written for celebrities and prominent businessmen, but for the past thirteen years poetry has been his primary creative passion. Chris Ames was born and raised in Salt Lake, then let loose upon the world. He has spent years in Europe and Asia, working, traveling and learning (and continuing to learn). He currently lives and works in Paris, but has never forgotten his roots as a Utahn. He has published two books of prose in Japan and contributed to countless magazines and anthologies from Beijing to Budapest. His current work, SOME PEOPLE, from which he will read tonight, appeared in Poland in 2005. 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!
