The next Literature for Lunch will feature poet Heidi Reszies, winner of the Anhinga Book Prize, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, at Daniel A. Cannon Memorial Library.
Reszies is both a poet and transdisciplinary artist. She earned an Master of Fine Arts in Writing with a concentration in poetry from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

She is also the founding creator and curator of Artifact Press, which produces limited-edition chapbooks and artist’s books that are typeset by hand and printed using letterpress, a traditional method known for producing elegant results. Artifact Press titles can be found in libraries and special collections. Reszies resides in Richmond, Virginia, where the press is located and where she teaches letterpress printing at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts.
