Iowa Writers' Workshop alum and former Prairie Lights bookseller Lindsey Webb will read from her poetic exploration of Mormonism, suicide, and gender in the American West, Plat. LA Warman says, “In Webb’s brilliant book, Plat, a story unfolds in plants and in futures that do not exist. The poems ask, is there room for death in the utopia? Is there room for any of us in the plat, in the house, or in the garden? Reading this stunning collection reinforces that loss is both collective and connecting. Together we are in the house and together we are hurting. Windows, walls, all feeling.”Lindsey Webb earned her Ph.D. in Creative Writing from the University of Utah in 2025. Plat was a Notable Read of the 2025 Utah Book Awards, and Webb is also the author of the chapbooks House and Perfumer’s Organ. Her writings have appeared in Chicago Review, Denver Quarterly, jubilat, and Lana Turner. This academic year, she is Visiting Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at Grinnell College.
