At this special NWS and WSU Press partner event on April 28, 2011, Delp shared the stage with nationally acclaimed Michigan authors Bonnie Jo Campbell (“American Salvage”), Michael Zadoorian (“The Lost Tiki Palaces of Detroit”) and Jack Driscoll (“How Like an Angel”) for an exciting conversation on writing, creative collaboration and the life of the artist. This event was supported by the MICHIGAN COUNCIL FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
