Poet Jason Schossler at Lake Tahoe Community College

Philadelphia poet and writer Jason Schossler, winner of the first annual Melissa Lanitis Gregory Poetry Prize, will read from his collection Mud Cakes, as part of the Lake Tahoe Community College Writers' Series. This reading is appropriate for all ages - bring the kids! The event begins at 7 p.m. Go to www.BonaFideBooks.com for more information.
The winner of the first Melissa Lanitis Gregory Poetry Prize, Mud Cakes is a deep and heartfelt examination of growing up in Middle America at a time when spiritual guidance comes from Luke Skywalker and KISS. Pop culture has replaced religion for a young boy in Ohio, and this collection of poems shows us how he uses modern mythologies to navigate the deterioration of his family. Schossler conjures images of childhood that evoke both the resilience of youth and its vulnerabilities.
