Steve Sibra says, “when I was about 4 years old I was crawling around in my mother’s vegetable garden, on the family farm in Montana, when I came face to face with a rattlesnake. We both froze. I looked at the snake. The snake looked back at me. For a moment time stood still. Then I got up from my hands and knees and walked away. The snake just laid there on his belly. As far as I know he may still be there. That experience, more than any other, inspired me to write poetry.”
Steve’s poetry has appeared in dozens of literary journals over the past several decades; likewise, his short fiction has been sprinkled across the ultra-obscure literary landscape of small press lit mags. Translations have appeared in another language or two, live readings have occurred in several western and midwestern states. His book of poetry, SHOES FOR BABY, was published in 2022 by Swallow Press. He is currently dabbling at collaboration as lyricist with a popular rock star (something may come of it, or it may end up like the snake in the vegetable garden – who can say?).
In any case, Steve will be thrilled to read a mixture of his most recent and his “vintage” work. You will get 20 or so minutes of it, after which you will go home and wonder, “what the hell just happened?” Thank you for attending. It is my pleasure to perplex and sustain you.

Your host will be:
Duane Kirby Jensen
