MFA Alum Heather Lang’s Anthology Featured in the Las Vegas Review Journal

Witness off-duty Elvis, Miss Atomic at home & words as trapeze artists. Explore ghosts in the ecotone, hasty breakups & why reproduction has so many o’s. Discover the saltshaker that’s buried in the microwave, a sci-fi spacesuit’s metallic silver & that desert bone. Edited & introduced by Heather Lang, this anthology features remarkable literature by some of today’s most talented Nevada writers.

FDU MFA alum Heather Lang was recently awarded a Nevada Arts Council jackpot grant to curate an anthology of literature by Nevadans, focusing on writers who are both brilliant in their craft and give back to their literary communities. The project quickly gained attention in Nevada and beyond. Read the book’s latest press at the Las Vegas Review Journal, an article which ran online and was featured on the front of the RJ’s “Life” section.
