Novelist, poet to speak at PSU
Award-winning novelist Bonnie Jo Campbell will present a free public reading at 8 p.m. Thursday in room 107, Grubbs Hall, Pittsburg State University. Her appearance will be the first PSU Distinguished Visiting Writer event of 2009. It is being co-sponsored by the PSU Distinguished Visiting Writers series and the PSU Student Fee Council. Campbell is the author of the novel “Q Road” and the story collection “Women & Other Animals.” Her second short story collection, “American Salvage,” will come out in spring 2009. Her fiction has recently been published in “Southern Review,” “Kenyon Review,” “Alaska Review,” “Boulevard” and “Witness.” The New York Times has called her stories “Bitter but sweetened by humor,” and Publisher’s Weekly said Campbell details “Domestic worlds where Martha Stewart would fear to tread.” A poetry sequence by Campbell is scheduled to appear in the winter 2009 issue of “The Midwest Quarterly.” Campbell has won the AWP award for short fiction and a Pushcart prize, and was named a Barnes & Noble Great New Writer. In addition to writing, she feeds donkeys and practices kobudo weapon arts in Kalamazoo, Mich. A reception will follow her reading.
