“Reading won’t change the world but readers will.” - R.F. Kuang

Last Thursday readers across Idaho came together to see, learn, and hear from R.F. Kuang on her newly released coming of age novel, Taipei Story.

She spoke about her writing process and how up to now her characters had reflected where she was in her life. With Taipei Story, she revisited what it felt like to be freshly off your first year of college. It can be disorienting and frustrating but absurdly you think you are the very first person who has lived a life and what a better way to approach this story than by choosing to write a coming of age novel.

Kuang views genre not as a limitation, but as a tool for building the stories she wants to read and write. Genre can give readers a way into complex ideas, helping us connect with and better understand deeper issues through the stories we encounter.

It was a wonderful night to remind ourselves not to spend too much time worrying about making a mistake, but instead to make the connections, take the chances, and seekout the stories we might otherwise miss.

We are excited to announce that writers Matthew Denton-Edmundson and Natanya Biskar have been selected as the 2026-27 Boise City Writers-in-Residence.

Learn a bit about our writers:

Matthew Denton-Edmundson is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at Boise State University. He grew up in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, where much of his writing takes place. He was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, and got a degree from Florida State University, before he moved to Boise. His debut novel, Reclamation is forthcoming from Doubleday and will also be released in the United Kingdom and France. Denton-Edmundson’s writing has been published in The New York Times, The Missouri Review, The Massachusetts Review, The American Scholar, The Hedgehog Review, Raritan, and Hobart. He was the winner of the 2024 Jeffery E. Smith Editors’ prize and his essay, How to Love Animals, was anthologized in the 2025 Best American Essays.

Natanya Biskar is a fiction writer based in Boise, Idaho. She earned her MFA in fiction from Boise State University, where she served as Associate Editor for The Idaho Review. Her work has appeared in Subtropics, The Indiana Review, and SELF. Born and raised in San Francisco, Natanya taught elementary school for more than ten years across the Pacific Northwest. She is currently at work on her first novel.

Meet them on September 29 as they share the stage with our 2025-26 writers, Kim Cross, Don Zancanella, and Idaho Writer in Residence, Mitch Wieland at The Cabin.

Programming will begin this October with Matthew.

Join Don Zancanella for his last workshop of his residency.

Writers have long shared thoughts about writing that can inspire, challenge, irritate, or completely reframe how we approach our work.

Guided by Don, participants will read and discuss a selection of remarks from a range of writers and consider how these perspectives resonate (or don’t) with their own creative practices.

Together, the group will explore how reflecting on others’ ideas about writing can spark new questions, affirm instincts, or encourage writers to experiment with new approaches. This workshop is designed to be thoughtful, conversational, and generative for writers at any stage.

No registration is required, but space is limited. This workshop is geared toward writers of all levels and genres. Please bring writing materials, such as a notebook and pen.
