BOONE—Tim Earley and Megan Kaminski will speak April 23 in the final presentation of the spring Hughlene Bostian Frank Visiting Writers Series at Appalachian State University.

Early and Kaminski will present a 2 p.m. craft talk in Plemmons Student Union’s Table Rock Room and read from their works at 7:30 p.m. in Table Rock Room.

Their presentations are free and open to the public.

Earley is the author of three full-length collections: “Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery” (Horse Less Press, 2014), “The Spooking of Mavens” (Cracked Slab Books, 2010) and “Boondoggle” (Main Street Rag, 2005), along with a limited edition chapbook, “Catfish Poems” (Delete Press, 2013). His work has appeared in The Ecopoetry Anthology, Chicago Review, Colorado Review, jubilat, Cannibal, Bestoned: The New Metaphysick, Conduit and other publications.

He teaches at the University of Mississippi and the Fine Arts Work Center’s Online Writing Program, 24PearlStreet.

Kaminski’s first book of poetry is “Desiring Map” (Coconut Books, 2012). She is also the author of seven chapbooks, most recently “Wintering Prairie” (Dusie Kollektiv, 2014), “This Place” (Dusie Kollektiv, 2013) and “Gemology” (Little Red Leaves Textile Series, 2012). Her current work, “Deep City,” explores the body and the city as architectures in crisis.

Kaminski teaches creative writing and literature at the University of Kansas, where she directs the undergraduate reading series and is the faculty sponsor for The Siren, a national journal of student writing. She also curates the Taproom Poetry Series in downtown Lawrence, Kansas.

The Visiting Writers Series is named in honor of Hughlene Bostian Frank (class of 1968), 2013 Appalachian Alumni Association Outstanding Service award recipient, past trustee, and generous supporter of Appalachian State University.
