The Steamboat Mountain Springs Reading Series is excited to host Natalie Padilla Young (Poetry, January 2009) and Cindy King at the K2 Gallery in Helper, Utah.

Natalie is the author of All of This Was Once Under Water, now available from Quarter Press. The first run is a limited-edition, full-color hardcover book, illustrated beautifully by the German artist Maximiliane Spieß. It is a speculative collection of poems grounded in Utah’s history and scenery.

Cindy King’s most recent publications include poems in The Sun, Callaloo, North American Review, Prairie Schooner, Antioch Review, African American Review, American Literary Review, TriQuarterly, Crab Orchard Review, Gettysburg Review, River Styx, Cincinnati Review, and elsewhere. You can hear her online on American Weekend, a production of National Public Radio, at weekendamerica.publicradio.org, rhinopoetry.org, and at cortlandreview.com. Her work has also been chosen by former Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith to appear on NPR’s The Slowdown. Her freelance work can be found at artsATL.com.
