We are finally catching up with ourselves a little bit. Last semester ended later than usual while the spring semester started a bit earlier in January. Some say the shorter break took us by surprise, but others think it was just the long, cold, lonely winter that got to us. Whatever happened, we found ourselves behind, and rather than cancel our February reading, Mary stepped in to read another story from her manuscript, Ruth Harris: Under the Prairie Moon. Though Mary is always happy to fill in the blanks, we want to hear new voices, so please consider presenting your scholarly, creative, or community work at one of our First Friday readings. Right now we have at least two presentations lined up for Fall, and are looking forward to welcoming a third. Could it be you? See our Events page for specific details and bios, but here is the rest of the spring lineup.

• Next up is Kyle Garton-Gundling who will introduce us to his new book on Friday, March 1st .
• Heather McLeer will present her work in April.
