Straw Dog Writers Guild 15th Anniversary Celebration & Reading
September 14 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Join the Straw Dog Writers Guild to celebrate their 15th anniversary with a lively panel discussion featuring Guild co-founders and members. Highlighted are readings by novelist Michael Jerome Plunkett and poet Julia Thacker, both alumni of the Edith Wharton & Straw Dog Emerging Writers Residency, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary.
In September, Plunkett’s debut novel Zone Rouge (2025) is being published by Unnamed Press. It is the story of a team cleaning up the artillery and explosives used in World War I who make a startling discovery in Verdun, France. Julia Thacker will read from To Wildness (The Waywiser Press, 2025), winner of the 19th annual Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize.
