The Mary E. Rolling series finished up the semester with a reading from Merrill Gillfillan, author of numerous works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. He read first from what he described as the “sometimes-slippery realm of non-fiction,” explaining “much fiction can be elbowed into non-fiction, and much non-fiction is elbowed into fiction… they are two prongs from the same root.” His first example of this genre was his story The Musselshell & South, which is set in Northern Montana. He then moved east towards the Appalachians with Burn House to Paw Paw.  His next reading he described as his “native Ohio,” a piece called The Warbler Road, followed by the poems, The Serpent and Spanish for Vanish.
