Great Plains Museum hosts Plains Song Review reading today

The UNL Center for Great Plains Studies will celebrate the publication of Plains Song Review Volume 7 with a reading and reception April 21 at 7 p.m. in the Great Plains Art Museum, 1155 Q St.

The evening will feature a reading by special guest Don Welch, professor emeritus of the University of Nebraska at Kearney. The new issue contains poetry, prose, photographs and artwork by undergraduates from UNL, UNO and UNK, as well as others from Nebraska and surrounding Plains states.

Mary Kate McCarney, editor of Plains Song Review, said, "This year we will have poet and special guest Don Welch begin the evening by reading his own work.

In addition to readings by other authors published in this issue and the presentation of the Christine Pappas Award for best work by an undergraduate student, we will have the first exhibit of photographs and artwork from the journal."

Plains Song Review, founded in 1999 by Pappas, is an interdisciplinary literary journal that explores a sense of place in the Great Plains through the writings, photography, and artwork of emerging and established writers and artists.

Much of the journal features work by undergraduate students from NU.

The reading is free and open to the public. For more information, call (402) 472-3082.
