Writers Cara Diaconoff and Derek Henderson will read from their works on January 10th at 7:00 at the Salt Lake Public Library Main Branch as part of the City Art reading Series. Cara Diaconoff's story collection, Unmarriageable Daughters, is forthcoming from Lewis-Clark Press in late 2006. She has published individual stories in Indiana Review, Other Voices, South Dakota Review, and descant and has also completed a novel, A Stranger to You, which is seeking a publisher. She is currently writing a second novel, a work of historical fiction about an American who spied for the Soviet Union during World War II. Diaconoff has taught writing and literature as a lecturer at Texas Christian University and as a Peace Corps volunteer at colleges in Russia. Currently, she is enrolled in the Ph.D. program in English and creative writing at University of Utah. Derek Henderson has lived in Salt Lake City with his wife and three (sometimes four children) for almost four years. They are still daily fascinated by the sight of mountains from their patio. His poems have been published or are soon to be published in Fence, Barrow Street, Colorado Review, and GoodFoot, and online with DIAGRAM, Word for/Word, GutCult and ActionYes. He has somewhere around five or six manuscripts that he'd love people to see. At the moment, his favorite quote is from George Oppen: "Yet I am one of those who from nothing but man's way of thought and one of his dialects and what has happened to me / Have made poetry." City Art is sponsored by the Utah Arts Council, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Zoo, Arts, and Parks, and audience donations. The reading will be followed by an open mic reading. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
