Barbara Cully and Ann Cummins Reading

Barbara Cully reads poems from her collection entitled Desire Reclining.  Ann Cummins then reads the title story from her collection of short stories entitled Red Ant House.  During a very brief question and answer session, Cully and Cummins discuss the importance of landscape in their work.  Both women work and reside in the Southwest.  Cummins briefly discusses the education she received while in school on Native American reservations, and the subsequent “catching up” with regard to literature that she felt she needed to do when she moved on to college.
