On Saturday, I will give my final reading as a Delaware Division of the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship winner. This year, as the 2016 Masters Fellowship in Fiction recipient, I have had the pleasure of reading and writing at plantation homes, historic court houses, bookstores,  libraries, and museums, during workshops, residencies, and conferences, in art galleries and outdoors, and in bars, restaurants, hermitages and a convent, in all three counties and beyond.

I am very happy to end this reading season with my friends Joyce, Siobhan, Sherry, Lisa, Abby, and Maggie, the fine poets and prose writers pictured below, at a venue that welcomes artists of all types. I hope to see you Saturday at the Newark Arts Alliance.
