Teresa Milbrodt to read from story collection
Teresa Milbrodt will read from her short story collection, "Bearded Women: Stories" Monday, at
7 p.m. at Grounds for Thought, 174 S. Main Street, Bowling Green.
"Bearded Women: Stories" invites the reader to enter the sideshow, a gathering of four-eared
ladies, women with parasitic twins, cyclops girls, and women who spontaneously combust. These
"freaks" are mothers, wives, and lovers, all of them trying negotiate a world that is quicker
to stare than sympathize.
An Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado Milbrodt has
published stories in a number of literary journals. She received her MFA degree in Creative Writing and
her MA in American Culture Studies from Bowling Green State University.
