The Big Dog Reading Series presents poet Abby Minor on Monday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. in the Haas Gallery Lobby at Bloomsburg University.
Minor lives in the ridges and valleys of central Pennsylvania, where she works on poems, essays, drawings, and projects exploring reproductive politics. Granddaughter of Appalachian tinkerers and Yiddish-speaking New Yorkers, she teaches poetry in her region’s low-income nursing homes; directs a language-arts-education collective called Ridgelines; and serves on the board of the internationally active nonprofit Abortion Conversation Projects. In 2018 she was awarded Bitch Media’s Writing Fellowship in Sexual Politics. Her first book is “As I Said: A Dissent,” recently published by Ricochet Editions.
The Big Dog Reading Series, coordinated by the Creative Writing program of the Bloomsburg University English Department, is now in its 22nd year. Events are free and open to the public.
