July Update: Book Events and Interview

Posted byKendall DunkelbergPosted inPoetry, Publicity, WritingTags:, , , , , , , ,

This is a quick post to let people know how my July is going. I’ve had a great time in Iowa at three book events in Osage, Charles City, and Mason City. I got to know the owners of two local bookstores, Prologue Books and Wine and Three Bells Books, which were new to me, and also connected with a store in Osage, Create, that will calso arry my books. They promote local authors and also sell art and other creations. Each has its own niche and is doing quite well by the look of their stores.

Today, the interview in Southern Review of Books went live. Thanks again to C. T. Salazar for his insightful questions and for Southern Review of Books for agreeing to do the interview.

Finally, when we get back to Mississippi next week, I’ll be gearing up for my reading at Lemuria Books on July 24 at 5pm. I’ll also be signing books, so I hope to see anyone whose in Jackson, Mississippi!

Other upcoming events that are confirmed include the Possum Town Book Festival in August and the Mississippi Book Festival in September. It’s going to be an exciting summer and early fall, and I’m looking forward to announcing more news soon.

I am a poet, translator, and professor of literature and creative writing at Mississippi University for Women, where I direct the Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing, the undergraduate concentration in creative writing, and the Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium. I am Chair of the Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy, and I have published four collections of poetry, Tree Fall with Birdsong, Barrier Island Suite, Time Capsules, and Landscapes and Architectures, as well as a collection of translations of the Belgian poet Paul Snoek, Hercules, Richelieu, and Nostradamus, and the textbook A Writer's Craft: Multi-Genre Creative Writing. I was born and raised in Osage, Iowa, and have lived for over thirty years in Columbus, Mississippi, where my wife Kim and I let wildflowers grow in our yard to the delight of spring polinators and only some of our neighbors.
