Diane Kendig will read from her chapbook, “The Places We Find Ourselves,” at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, in the Malcolm Dining Hall of the Gardner Fine Arts Pavilion at The University of Findlay. Kendig’s chapbook was published by Finishing Line Press in July 2009.

A reception and book signing will follow.

Kendig, who taught English at The University of Findlay from 1984 to 2004, has published three other chapbooks: “A Tunnel of Flute Song,” “Diane Kendig’s Greatest Hits” and, with photographer Steve Cagan, “And a Pencil to Write Your Name: Poems from the Nicaragua Poetry Workshop Movement,” a bilingual edition of poems she translated after spending a year in Nicaragua on a Fulbright Lectureship in 1991.  

Kendig also has published individual poems, fiction and creative nonfiction in countless magazines and anthologies, completed residencies with the Ohio Arts Council’s Artists in Residence, worked in the University’s prison program and shaped the creative writing emphasis on UF’s campus.

Currently, she teaches writing at Bentley College and does creative writing residencies at colleges, national parks and schools.
