Winona State University will host author Paisley Rekdal as part of the John S. Lucas Great River Reading Series at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, in the Science Lab Center, room 120.
Rekdal is the author of a book of essays, “The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee”; “Intimate,” a hybrid-genre photo-text memoir that combines poetry, fiction, nonfiction and photography; and four books of poetry: “A Crash of Rhinos,” “Six Girls Without Pants,” “The Invention of the Kaleidoscope” and “Animal Eye,” which was a finalist for the 2013 Kingsley Tufts Prize, the Balcones Prize and winner of the UNT Rilke Prize.
Rekdal currently teaches at the University of Utah, where she is also the creator and editor of the community web history archive.
Rekdal will read from a mixture of poetry and prose.
