Dolsen Visiting Writer

Join us in welcoming poet, translator, and literary critic Kimberly Johnson as she reads from her most recent collection of poems, Fatal. Her most personal book to date, Fatal explores how “small and common events” mark us for life. The reading of her work will take place in the Salmon River River Room, Wednesday September 9 at 5pm in the SUB.

See you there!
