Fishtrap Fireside
The event features readings from two Wallowa County favorites, Nathan Slinker and Kirsten Rohla, plus a special guest from neighboring Union County, Nate Lowe.
Nate Lowe
Nate Lowe is a writer, teacher, and college administrator. A Midwest farm kid turned college writing professor, rurality has always been a touchstone for his career, writing, and personal life. In 2017 he was hired as Dean at EOU, an opportunity to advance his career dedicated to education and student success while nurturing his family’s love of remote and wild places. Over the years, Lowe’s creative essays – many of them about the farm and ranch folks he grew up with – have appeared in such journals as Ascent, South Dakota Review, Blood Orange Review, Beecher’s Magazine, and The Chattahoochee Review.
Kirsten Rohla
Kirsten Rohla lives in Joseph, Oregon, and has been writing her whole life. She is an enthusiastic life-long learner, loves a relaxing day on the lake, and works hard to keep her dog in the good life. She has also earned a BA in Creative Writing and Secondary Education; an MA in Curriculum & Instruction; an editing certificate; and taught literature and writing for fifteen years.
Nathan Slinker
Nathan Slinker has published poems in many journals including Third Coast, Mid-American Review, The Greensboro Review, and Kenyon Review Online. He has been a Fishtrap fellow, a semi-finalist for the “Discovery”/Boston Review Poetry Prize and he was a finalist for New River Press’s Many Voices Prize. He runs Alder Slope Nursery just outside of Enterprise.
