Environmental writer and poet Sean Prentiss comes to Linfield University for a reading of his latest work at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20 in Nicholson Library’s Austin Reading Room. The event is free and open to the public.
Prentiss is the author of the award-winning “Finding Abbey: The Search for Edward Abbey and His Hidden Desert Grave.” This highly praised book won the National Outdoor Book Award, the Utah Book Award for Nonfiction and the New Mexico-Arizona Book Award. Prentiss’s debut book of poems, “Crosscut,” explores his years building trail in the Pacific Northwest with at-risk youth.
Prentiss has lived and worked across the United States, and has found the power of story and the power of place to be constants in his life. He is an associate professor at Norwich University and resides in northern Vermont with his wife, Sarah, his daughter, Winter, and his wild dog, Blueberry.
The event is part of the Readings at the Nick series and is sponsored by the Linfield’s Jereld R. Nicholson Library and Department of English.
