Monday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. in MCLA Gallery 51
FREE and open to the public
Steven Dunn will be in residence at the College on Oct. 22 and 23 as this fall's visiting creative writer. During his residency on campus, Dunn will visit writing classes, meet with students, and present a public reading of his work.
Dunn is the author of the novels "Potted Meat" and "water & power."
Set in a decaying town in southern West Virginia, "Potted Meat" follows a young boy into adolescence as he struggles with abusive parents, poverty, alcohol addiction, and racial tensions. In this first novel, Dunn explores the fear, power, and vulnerability of storytelling, and in doing so, investigates the peculiar tensions of the body: How we seek to escape or remain embodied during repeated trauma.
