Reading from Jesse Sensibar, Kara Thompson, and Nicole Walker

Presented by Northern Arizona Book Festival at Bright Side Bookshop

Jesse Sensibar is the author of Blood in the Asphalt. He loves small furry animals and assault rifles with equal abandon and has a soft spot in his heart for innocent strippers and jaded children. He is a product of the mean streets of Midwestern industrial cities. He spent his youth on the shores of the post-industrial Great Lakes in tattoo shops, pizza parlors, corner bars, speed shops, and motorcycle clubhouses. He spends his time writing and promoting the art of storytelling. You can usually find him in the dying Ponderosa Pine forests surrounding Flagstaff, Arizona or in the old barrios of Tucson, Arizona. Otherwise, he is probably somewhere out on the highway, documenting the passing of his rapidly disappearing American West and pondering the fleeting nature of memory, sin, spirituality, and forgiveness.
Kara Thompson is Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at Northern Arizona University. Thompson is the author of Blanket (Bloomsbury, 2018), Settler Contingencies, Indigenous Futures (Duke University Press, 2020), and essays in Tin House, Avidly, The Philosophical Salon, and Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment.
Nicole Walker is the author of Sustainability: A Love Story from Ohio State University Press and the forthcoming The After-Normal from Rose Metal Press. Her previous books include Where the Tiny Things Are, Egg, Micrograms, Quench Your Thirst with Salt, and This Noisy Egg. She also edited Bending Genre: Essays on Creative Nonfiction with Margot Singer. She’s nonfiction editor at Diagram and Professor at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona where it rains like the Pacific Northwest, but only in July.
