The final installation of the 2013-2014 Emerging Writer Series will feature fiction by Andrew Payton, poetry by Xavier Cavazos, and nonfiction by both Chris Wiewiora and yours truly. I will be reading “A Terrestrial Brook Trout,” an essay about dead animals, conscience, and my relationship with my dad.
