Cal Poly campus, “Science North” (Bldg 53) – Rm TBD. The creative writing program of Cal Poly’s English Department is excited to announce this year’s annual reading series. On Tuesday June 21st Nebraska poet Jim Reese and former Cal Poly undergrad poet and singer Ephraim Sommers will read. Both readings will take place at 7pm on the Cal Poly campus. The venue for each will be announced shortly. Author of the well received volume ghost on 3rd, Reese teaches at Mount Marty College in Yankton, South Dakota, where he is Director of the Great Plains Writers’ Tour and Editor-in-Chief of the national journal Paddlefish. “Jim Reese catches the dying fire of the small town wasteland that staggers on with meth, desire, and neglect,” says Charles Bowden, author of Murder City. “And I’d add that’s his work is surprisingly funny,” said poetry writing Professor Kevin Clark. “When I heard him read last year, the audience was highly entertained and I knew I wanted to bring him to Poly. We’re lucky that he can come so far for us.” Having grown up in Atascadero, Sommers is a much-accomplished singer and poet who graduated from Cal Poly’s English Department and went on to receive an MFA in creative writing from San Diego State. Local fans of the band Siko will remember Sommer’s alt/soul singing style. According Clark, “When Ephraim was at Poly, his persona poems kept us on edge and in suspense. They’re brilliant explorations of the human psyche at moments of intense personal crisis.” |
