Brian Turner is wrapping up his stint this week as visiting author at Wichita State University. Turner is best known as a poet, but he'll be giving a reading tonight for his book, "My Life as a Foreign Country," a memoir about war. I spoke with him about his memoir and about his time at WSU.

Tonight's reading is at the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University. A reception begins at 5:30 and the reading begins at 6:00 pm.
