Poet Kane presents public reading Friday

Back from picking up a $50,000 Whiting Writers' Award and launching her first book at an event in New York, poet Joan Kane will read from her work starting at 5:30 p.m. Friday night at the Alaska Native Arts Foundation gallery, 500 W. 6th Ave. It will be the Anchorage author's first Alaskan appearance since receiving the prestigious national prize on Oct. 28.

Sam Beam, Iron and Wine
Sold-out Iron and Wine concert is sure to be a crowd pleaser

No word will more accurately describe tonight's Iron and Wine show than intimate. The importance of preserving the feeling was one reason the performance was booked at UAA's Wendy Williamson Auditorium, despite the fact that demand would likely surpass the venue's 850 seats, according to Zac Clark, concert board coordinator for the University of Alaska Anchorage.
