Lance Newman and Ashley Seitz Kramer will read from their work on Wednesday, December

the City Art Reading Series and the Utah Humanities Book Festival. This event
is free and open to the public.
Lance Newman’s poems have appeared in print and web magazines published
in Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S., including 1913, BlazeVox, Fringe, Moria,No
Tell Motel, nthposition, otoliths, Pemmican, Perigee, Stride, West
Wind Review, and Zyzzyva. His two chapbooks, Come Kanab (Dusi-e/chaps Kollectiv,
2007) and 3by3by3 (Beard
of Bees, 2010), are freely available on the web. He also curates the
blogzine 3by3by3, a poetic experiment in
human/machine collaboration.
Ashley Seitz Kramer, originally from Ohio, earned her MFA from
the Vermont College of Fine Arts, and has won the Ruth Stone Prize,
the Schiff Prize, the Utah Writers’ Contest, and the Zone 3 Press First Book
Award. Her book, Museum of Distance, was published in 2015 and
was a finalist for the Utah Book Award. Her poetry and prose are widely
published in print and online, and she is currently at work on a second book of
poems, entitled Haptikos. When she is not writing, she wears many
professional hats: she teaches college writing (and has done so for over twelve
years), serves as an assistant dean at Westminster College, and she’s a
third-year doctoral student in Education, Culture, and Society at the
University of Utah, where she focuses on critical race feminism, queer
theory, and anti-oppressive pedagogies and practices.
Most
featured readings are followed by an open reading.
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, X-mission, and audience donations.
