July Watershed Reading

Join us on Saturday, July 18 at 7 PM for a special reading with local poets Meg Kim, Winshen Liu, and John Paul Martinez.

Meg Kim is a writer from Southern Oregon currently based in Chicago and the author of the chapbook Invisible Cartographies (New Delta Review 2024). Her poems have appeared in Ninth Letter, Gulf Coast, TriQuarterly, and Nimrod International Journal, among others. They have received support from the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, the Sundress Academy for the Arts, and the Elizabeth George Foundation, and hold an MFA in creative writing from UW–Madison.

Winshen Liu learned how to play mahjong late in life compared to her cousins and still can’t find the Big Dipper, even though she loves stargazing. Her chapbook, Paper Money, was selected by Diane Seuss for the 2024 Adrift Contest with Driftwood Press. In addition to writing, she loves long-distance train travel, baking and bakeries, and stickers.
