EIU Booth Library

The EIU English Department will present this program, part of this year’s series of virtual Lions in Winter events: a reading and craft talk with Inupiaq poet Joan Naviyuk Kane. Kane grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and writes about threats to her ancestral community. Loss of elders with specific cultural knowledge concerns her as she raises children. Registration is required. The reading will begin at 5 p.m., followed by the craft talk. Visit https://thekeep.eiu.edu/lionsinwinter/lions2020/ for more information.

Lions in Winter is an annual literary festival hosted by EIU’s Department of English that has included author readings; crafts talks by featured writers in fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction; editor panels; and book fairs.
