Her poems have won the Crab Orchard Review First Book Prize, The Miller Williams Poetry Prize, and the Diode Editions Chapbook Competition, and has appeared in publications such as the Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day, The New Republic, New England Review, and Guernica. She is a poetry editor at the Los Angeles Review.
 
Doug Van Gundy directs the low-residency MFA writing program at West Virginia Wesleyan College. His poems, essays and reviews have appeared in many national and international publications, including Poetry, The Guardian, and The Oxford American. He is co-editor of the anthology Eyes Glowing at the Edge of the Woods: Contemporary Writing from West Virginia and the author of a collection of poems, A Life Above Water, published by Red Hen Press.  
Our April reading will take place online only, on the Fourth Sundays: Poetry at the Claremont Library Facebook page.

We'll also leave the recording of the reading up on Facebook for one week, so if you can't make it on April 25, stop by later on in the week and listen to our wonderful readers.
