Sierra Nevada College’s next Writers in the Woods event features Gailmarie Pahmeier and David Lee.

Pahmeier’s most recent poetry collection, “The Rural Lives of Nice Girls”, was published by Black Rock Press. Other books include “With Respect for Distance”, “Shake It and It Snows”, and “The House on Breakaheart Road”. A Nevadan for nearly 30 years, Pahmeier is a faculty member for SNC Tahoe’s MFA in creative writing; she also teachers at UNR, where she received the distinguished teaching award.

Lee was Utah’s first poet laureate, and is the author of 15 volumes of poetry. A former seminary candidate, boxer, semi-pro baseball player, cotton mill worker, and hog farmer, he has a doctorate in literature with a concentration in John Milton and taught at Southern Utah University for three decades.

Readings are April 17 from 7-9pm and the workshop is April 18 from 9am-noon.

Workshops can be taken for credit and are free to students, $50 for community members. All events, Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences at SNC Tahoe, Room 139, Incline Village.
