Jerry Apps and Richard Quinney Literary Reading

1 pm - 2 pm

Jerry Apps, Madison Ellis/Henderson Outdoor Writing Award

Richard Quinney, Madison Kingery/Derleth Book-Length Nonfiction Award

Apps’s Old Farm, a History is the natural history of a place and the people devoted to it. The writings are graced by the fine photography of Steve Apps.

Quinney’s Things Once Seen presents compelling photographs spanning forty years as well as writing that is as much poetry as it is narrative. It’s a haunting vignette woven together into a story of inner and outer exploration.

Overture Center for the Arts is pleased to present readings by the recipients of the 2009 Council for Wisconsin Writers Awards. The writers will read from their award-winning works in conjunction with related presentations at Overture. This series is a collaborative partnership between Overture Center for the Arts, Edenfred and the Council for Wisconsin Writers.

This reading is presented in conjunction with Stitched Ground: Four Artists Embroider the Land at the James Watrous Gallery. Leah Evans will be giving an artist talk at 2 pm.
