Second Wind: a public reading series pairing students in University of Montana's Creative Writing MFA program with UM faculty, alumni, and community writers.
Readings are at 6:00 p.m. Sunday evenings at Kulture Kava, 420 N Higgins Ave in Missoula. (In the building behind Jimmy John’s) Admission is free!
Join us this Sunday, October 28th, for an evening with CutBank’s Editor-In-Chief, Joe Kirk, and author Emily H. Freeman.
Joe Kirk
Reared in Billings, Joe recently returned to Montana after eight years in Seattle, where he barista’d his way through a BA in Creative Writing from Seattle University, co-founded the Château SeaScum Arts Collective, and spent four years working in live music production. Now, Joe is an MFA student in nonfiction at the University of Montana, a campus not-so-coincidentally near his favorite fishing spots on Rock Creek or in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.
