W. Scott Olsen writes about things that scare him, flying a single-engine airplane across remote landscapes, tracking the lives of wildland firefighters, and other risky activities that capture his interest.
Olsen will read and discuss his literary work on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 5:00 p.m. in the Museum of Art/WSU Pullman. Author of more than 10 books, Olsen also edits “Ascent,” one of the oldest and best-established literary journals in the country. His essays have appeared in the Notable list of The Best American Essays eight times.
On Friday, Olsen will be part of a roundtable on publishing and editing across print and the web at noon in Avery Hall, Bundy Reading Rm. Other panelists: Rita Rud, Bryan Fry, and Jana Argersinger.
