Please join the Department of English Visiting Writers Series for a reading and Q&A with novelist, Erika T. Wurth.
Erika T. Wurth’s novel White Horse is a New York Times Editors Pick, a Good Morning America Buzz Pick, and an Indie Next, Target Book of the Month, and BOTM Pick. She is both a Kenyon and Sewanee fellow, has published in The Kenyon Review, Buzzfeed, and The Writer’s Chronicle, and is a narrative artist for the Meow Wolf Denver installation. She is an urban Native of Apache/Chickasaw/Cherokee descent, who lives in Denver. Her second novel, The Haunting of Room 904, is forthcoming (March 18, 2025).
White Horse is a gritty, vibrant debut about an Indigenous woman who must face her past when she discovers a bracelet haunted by her mother’s spirit. Kari’s journey toward a truth long denied by both her family and law enforcement forces her to confront her dysfunctional relationships, thoughts about a friend she lost in childhood, and her desire for the one thing she’s always wanted but could never have.
This reading is free and open to the public, and it will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. Books will be available for sale from Prologue Bookshop.
This event is sponsored by the Department of American Indian Studies.
