Malone, who grew up in Kansas and Missouri, will be in the main reading room from 4 to 6 p.m. for informal readings and conversation. His works highlight rural and small-town life.
Malone is the author of seven books of poetry; his most recent is “Tornado Drill,” from Aldrich Press. His next volume, “Bypass,” will be released by Aldrich this year. His co-written short film script, “For Keeps,” was recently a semi-finalist for the Lake Travis Film Festival.
Malone holds an undergraduate degree from Ottawa University and a master’s degree from Indiana State, where he worked with poet Matthew Brennan.
Also on Wednesday, the Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Group meets at 2 p.m. with Melissa Smoot for a discussion and demonstration of AlzNavigator, an Alzheimer’s Association website that helps people find the best resource to suit a given need. It also helps determine when it’s time to call an expert. The support group meets the second Wednesday of every month in the meeting room.
