LYN DALEBOUT LAUNCHES 2006 LIBRARY SERIES: On Tuesday, January 24, 7-8 p.m., Lyn Dalebout will be featured in Teton County Public Library's Writers Showcase in Jackson. She will read poetry from "Earth Is the Book," a work in progress, as well as "Out of the Flames," her first book of poems. The event takes place in the library's Ordway Auditorium and is free and open to the public. In a press release, Lyn says that she hopes participants come away from her poetry reading "with a deeper desire to listen to their own creative muses, to be inspired to take time to uncover their own wealth of insight, and to listen more deeply to the natural world." She is at work on four writing projects: "Earth Is the Book," a children's book, a prose poem book, and a book on writing entitled "The Vigor of Listening." She also teaches writing workshops, writes a column for Delicious Living magazine, and is a sidereal astrologist. Her work can was included in the anthologies "Leaning into the Wind" and "Stories from the Wild." He articles have appeared in Women Outside, Heron Dance, Northern Lights, and Caldera. Lyn has performed the work of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman for audiotapes, and says that she was “honored to be the voice of Mardy Murie's writings” in the film "Arctic Dance." In 1992, she and Connie Wieneke launched the popular open-mike night Moose Readings at Dornan's bar and restaurant. The library's next Writers Showcase will be held March 21.
