Keaton Charles Butler will give a reading of his newly
published book My Life as a Human on
May 1, 5-7 p.m. at Salt Lake Community College in the Cultural Commons of the
Academic and Administration Building at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus. The
public is invited to a reception with food and an opportunity to meet Butler
and other finalists in the 2013-2014 Chapbook Competition.
Competition judge Karin Anderson, professor of English and
literature at SLCC, said Butler’s winning entry is “… one of the most striking
experiences of my career. Absorbed in the idiosyncratic consciousness of one
“human” in search of another…My Life as a
Human portrays the race of gaping nihilism against the redemption of
desire.”
Each year Salt Lake Community College holds a chapbook
competition where students can showcase their literary works and compete to
have the opportunity to become a published writer. The Publication Studies
class works all spring semester to create a book out of the winning manuscript,
which this year is Butler’s. Other finalists in the competition were: Robin
Glassey- Least of Elves; Alex
Maughan- The Adventures of Lixin Bruce
Wayne Davis and Scott—The Teenage Wonder; and Erika Lynn Smith- Non Compos Mentis.
