PEN America invites you to celebrate LitNight’s second anniversary
with a virtual reading featuring established and emerging writers, on
Tuesday, June 9, at 7pm Central time. Founder and host of LitNight
Sanderia Faye says, “This anniversary shows the dedication that
Dallas and Fort Worth have toward creating a literary city. The
authors and audience are the reason we have thrived, and the four
powerhouse authors featured for our anniversary celebration are a
testament to our survival.” LitNight is a monthly reading series
featuring some of the most exciting established and emerging writers
to come out of Dallas, and the literary community at large. This
month’s virtual reading will feature Deb Olin Unferth, Renee Simms,
Fowzia Karimi, and Natalie Baszile. Fowzia Karimi was born in Kabul,
Afghanistan. She immigrated to the US in 1980, after the Soviet
invasion of the country. Karimi has a background in Studio Art and
Biology. She received her MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College,
California. Her work explores the correspondence on the page between
the written and the visual arts. She is a recipient of The Rona Jaffe
Foundation Writers’ Award, and has illustrated The Brick House by
Micheline Aharonian Marcom and Vagrants and Uncommon Visitors by A.
Kendra Green. She lives in Texas.
