Featured Writer for May 14, 2015: Laura Hamblin

Our featured writer for May 14th was the incomparable Laura Hamblin!  A Utah Valley University professor, Laura has many admirers among our writer regulars and I can see why.  She seems incredibly generous of spirit and her words really resonate. She shared from her book The Eyes of a Flounder as well as her contribution to a book that compiled her late son's work on a zine called The Fifth Goal (http://thefifthgoal.tumblr.com/).  Here's a link to the book itself: http://www.divisionleap.com/pages/books/23134/and-contributors-travis-low-kate-davis-adam-davis-laura-hamblin-greg-bennick/the-fifth-goal-1998-2003-transcendental-graffiti-zine

Also, before the feature she told us about an oral history project she is working on with Iraqi Women Refugees (iraqiwomenrefugees.com).  Fascinating work!

We feel so lucky to have had you join us, Laura!

Here are a few pictures of Laura reading:
