Author Visit with Courtney Huse Wika

Courtney Huse Wika believes in the art of collection — overheard quotes, forgotten stories, and sometimes animals. She is the author of “Perch,” a chapbook of nature poetry from Anchor and Plume Press. Her creative work has appeared in Kindred, South Dakota Magazine, Midwestern Gothic, Scissors and Spackle, Backwards City Review, Paddlefish, 605 Magazine, Life on the Farm and Ranch: A South Dakota Anthology, and the Macguffin.

Her collaborative work with artist Becky Grismer has also appeared in numerous juried shows and galleries in the United States.

She received her BA in philosophy and English from Augustana University and her MA and PhD in English with a specialization in creative writing from the University of South Dakota. She currently teaches at Black Hills State University.

This is a FREE event presented by ArtCentral Spearfish. Recommended for ages 15 and up. Younger children may attend but must be accompanied by an adult.
