Valerie Nieman will visit City Lights Bookstore
Friday, February 17th at 7 p.m. to read from and discuss her third
novel, Blood Clay. Ron
Rash says of the book, “Blood Clay is a
profoundly moving and beautifully written novel about a community torn apart by
tragedy. Valerie Nieman is a writer of remarkable talent, and she has given us
a book that, once read, will be hard for any reader to forget.” She is also the author of a collection
of short stories, Fidelities, from West Virginia University
Press, and a poetry collection, Wake Wake Wake. She has
received an NEA creative writing fellowship, two Elizabeth Simpson Smith prizes
in fiction, and the Greg Grummer Prize in poetry. A native of Western New York
State, she graduated from West Virginia University and the M.F.A. program at

University and is the poetry editor for Prime Number Magazine
