Tribal college instructor and 2011 grad will read from short stories


Faculty and staff who remember standout English grad Saul Lemerond (Class of 2011) will be interested to know that he will return to campus Monday (March 24) and read from his short story collection, Kayfabe & Other Stories. Lemerond, a former Sheepshead Review editor in chief who earned summa cum laude honors and distinction in the major, will present at 2:30 p.m. in the Heritage Room of the University Union. The event is free and open to the public. Lemorond teaches creative writing at Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College in Mount Pleasant, Mich. His work has appeared in Dunesteef, Temenos, Waterhouse Review, and elsewhere. He holds a master’s in creative writing from Central Michigan and, his publicity notes say, “writes ham-fisted satire while giggling to himself, and he hopes to someday move south because his hands get cold in the winter.” Lemorand will also judge the Sheephead Review Rising Phoenix fiction award category this year.
