Each Third Thursday, Writers in Conversation invites two writers, at different stages in their writing careers, to share their work and engage in conversation about the craft of creative writing. Readings are in-person at Larksong Writers Place. There is no charge.

On February 20, 2025, Larksong welcomes Twyla M. Hansen and Karla Hernandez Torrijos (she/her). Twyla is the author of Feeding the Fire, 2023 Winner, Nebraska Book Award and Finalist, WILLA Literary Award. She is a board member of Larksong Writers Place, Humanities Nebraska Speaker’s Bureau creative writing presenter, and was Nebraska State Poet from 2013 to 2018. Karla Hernandez Torrijos (she/her) is a poet and workshop facilitator. Beginning at an open mic in 2017, Karla has been invited to read her work in venues across Nebraska. She received the 2024 Kate Sommer Memorial Poetry Prize, the 2024 Gaffney Prize for Poetry, the 2023 Irby F. Wood Prize for Poetry, and the 2021 Vreeland Award for Poetry. Her writing interrogates our understanding of home, displacement, and the liminal space in between.
