In person at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design's Community Auditorium & Gallery (Room 160), 273 E. Erie St., and livestreaming on Crowdcast.

Reading and Q&A featuring Diane Glancy, in conjunction with Then as Now: Woodland Pattern 1980–2022 and part of Native American Writers in the 21st Century, an ongoing series supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. 

Proficient in numerous genres—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and playwriting—Diane Glancy often creates work that reflects her Native American heritage. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, to parents of Cherokee and German descent, Glancy has served as artist-in-residence for the Oklahoma State Arts Council (traveling around the state to teach poetry to Native American students), and she taught Native American literature and creative writing at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, for almost twenty years. She is the recipient of many accolades, including the 2016 Arrell Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oklahoma Center for the Book, the 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writers’ Circle of the Americas, and two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her most recent book, A Line of Driftwood: The Ada Blackjack Story (Turtle Point Press, 2021), features Woodland Pattern co-founder Anne Kingsbury’s beadwork on the cover.
