Sibyl James- Dizzier Than Gillespie
About this Event
Feminist rebellion, hope for Palestine, and a gin-loving saint collide in Dizzier Than Gillespie. An American poet lands in Tunisia and finds herself swept into a whirlwind of fighting for justice mixed with mythic visions. A bold journey through culture, identity, and the dizzying search for home.
Sibyl James is the author of fifteen books—poetry, fiction and travel memoir—including In China with Harpo and Karl (Calyx Books), The Adventures of Stout Mama (Papier-Mache Press), China Beats (Egress Studio Press), The Last Woro Woro to Treichville: A West African Memoir (StringTown Press), The Grand Piano Range (Black Heron Press) and most recently The Mother of Invention (a children’s book from Calyx) and Plum Blossom Wine (Empty Bowl Press). She has taught at colleges in the U.S., China, Mexico, and—as Fulbright professor—Tunisia and Cote d’Ivoire. As writer in residence, she has worked for the Washington State Arts Commission, the Seattle Arts Commission, Seattle Arts and Lectures, and the Seattle School District. Her writing has received awards from Artist Trust and the Seattle, King County and Washington State arts commissions.
