sorry this is late. Writers Maureen Clark and Harmony Button will read from their works at the Salt Lake Public Library Main Branch on Wednesday November 3rd at 7:00. Maureen Clark’s poetry has appeared in Bellingham Review, Colorado Review, Alaska Quarterly, Puerto del Sol, Prairie Schooner, The Southeast Review and Gettysburg Review, among other literary journals. She has written two poetry collections; Premature Autopsy and A Year in Bountiful, and has recently completed a memoir titled Between the Gods. Maureen currently teaches academic writing through the University of Utah Writing Program and Creative Writing with the university’s Lifelong Learning Program. She began her work as an editor with Ellipsis: Literature & Art at Westminster College. She also worked for a time as a reader for Quarterly West. Maureen completed a residency at Vermont Studio Center in May 2007 and her manuscript, Premature Autopsy, was one of the semi-finalists for the Cleveland State University Poetry Center Prize in 2007. Maureen was the president of Writers at Work from 1999-2000 and now serves on the advisory board of that organization. Harmony Button completed an MFA in Poetry from University of Utah in 2007. Although a New York native, she has remained in Utah to teach middle and upper school English, History and Creative Writing at The Waterford School. Unwilling to entirely relinquish her east coast citizenship, she lives a double life as an English teacher in Phillips Exeter Academy's summer school program. As a poet, she continues to write much, occasionally showing up in publications such as AfterImage, Prick of the Spindle, and Mantis Review. 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. The featured reading will be followed by an open reading.
