Poetry reading and reception with Iver Arnegard

Visiting author Iver Arnegard will present a poetry reading in the lobby of DeWitt Theatre Arts Center from 7 to 8 p.m. on Monday, March 23. A reception will follow. The event is free and open to the public.

Arnegard, who holds a Ph.D. in English and creative writing from Ohio University, has published fiction, nonfiction and poetry in the Atlanta Review, Barrow Street, Copper Nickel, Gulf Coast, the Missouri Review, Willow Springs and elsewhere. His writing is informed by the landscapes in which he has lived and worked: Alaska, Montana and the Dakotas. 

Arnegard is currently revising his novel, Farland, which is  concerned with the plight of American farmers and Native Americans, and how their lives intersect in a remote community on the rim of the North Dakota badlands.
