On Thursday, April 30, at 7:00 p.m. the Final Thursday Reading Series returns in an online format, bringing poet Jim Johnson to a screen right in front of you. The Final Thursday website, www.finalthursdaypress.com, will post a video reading by Jim Johnson, author of One Morning in June: Selected Poems. The event on the 30th will also have a video “open mic” section. If you would like to share no more than five minutes of your own creative work, please video yourself reading and upload it to a publicly accessible site like YouTube. Share the link with Jim OLoughlin jim.oloughlin@uni.edu by Wednesday, April 29 to ensure that your contribution can become part of the event. If you haven’t made a video of yourself reading before, here’s a short segment with good tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMex-9FyljU. Also, check out www.finalthursdaypress.com now for an interview with Jim Johnson. If you missed last month’s Virtual FTRS, it is still available online at: https://finalthursdaypress.blogspot.com/2020/03/virtual-final-thursday-reading-series.html. The Final Thursday Reading Series is a collaboration of Final Thursday Press, the Hearst Center for the Arts, the UNI College of Humanities, Arts & Sciences, and the UNI Department of Languages & Literatures.
