Author Diane Fisher will give a reading from her recent works on April 6 in Nellie Wilson Lounge on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College at 7 p.m. The reading is free  and open to the public.
Fisher was born in Columbus, Ohio and grew up there. Her parents were part of the Appalachian outmigration–her father from Johnson County in eastern Kentucky, her mother from Mingo County, WV. Fisher has a Ph.D. in Romance Languages and Literatures from Ohio State University and an MFA from the Warren Wilson Program for Writers. In 2003, she was recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship. Fisher's books include Recipe for Blackberry Cake, in the Wick Poetry Chapbook Series from Kent State University Press (1999); One of Everything, from The Cleveland State University Poetry Center (2003), and Kettle Bottom, a collection of poems written in the voices of people living in the coal camps at the time of the 1920-21 West Virginia mine wars from Perugia Press (2004).
Prior to her public reading, Fisher will speak with Wesleyan poetry and literature students in the classroom. For more information about Fisher’s visit to Wesleyan, please contact Dr. Mark DeFoe at (304) 473-8701.
