Fellowship winners read at book festival


The Wyoming Arts Council's 2009 creative writing fellowship recipients in fiction read from their work on Thursday, Sept. 18, at the Goodstein Foundation Library at Casper College. Kevin Holdsworth (top left), who lives in Green River and teaches at Western Wyoming Community College, read an excerpt from "Silver Wings." Val Pexton of Laramie (top right) read her award-winning story "Riding the Fences." Doug Reitinger (bottom row), who told the crowd that he was on the verge of giving up writing before the WAC fellowship announcement, read his story "Follow Through." The fellowship reading was part of the second annual Equality State Book festival at Casper College and other Casper venues. Photos by Linda Coatney.
