Canadian Poet Fred Wah To Speak At Log Cabin Literary Center

---

Fred Wah, one of Canada�s premier poets and memoir writers, will read from his award-winning books at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at the Log Cabin Literary Center, 801 Capital Blvd. His presentation is sponsored by Boise State University�s Canadian Studies program and the English department�s Graduate Writing program. Wah is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry and Diamond Grill, a memoir of growing up Chinese American that movingly depicts small town life and the various activities in and around his father�s diner in Western Canada. He has taught creative writing at the University of Calgary and has edited several innovative literary journals. Wah�s writing combines a deep ecological vision with a jazzy and wry way with words. Wah�s books are reserved in the Albertsons Library under the name of adjunct English professor Norm Weinstein. -30- Contact Norm Weinstein Department of English 208 433-1294 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275
