FEATURED SPEAKER Mary Lou Sanelli: “Falling
Awake”
Mary Lou Sanelli is an author and speaker who has earned a
solid reputation in the literary community through her steady
commitment to writing and twenty years of engaging public
readings and presentations. Her readings win over audiences
with poignant insights and self-effacing humor. She has a
dynamic stage presence and often stresses performance as
strongly as literature. Critics have called her “...highly
readable and entertaining” and “... jaw-droppingly honest.”
Sanelli is the author of seven poetry collections. Her recent
collection of essays, “Falling Awake” (selected as “one of the
most fabulous 2008 Northwest titles” by Seattle reviewer
Lesley Thomas) and her latest book “Among Friends: A Memoir”
(#1 in non-fiction, Barnes & Noble, December 2009) are in
bookstores now. Her essays have appeared in the Seattle Times
and Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.
She is a regular columnist for City Living Magazine (
Seattle Pacific Publishing Newspapers), as well as for Art
Access Magazine. She is heard periodically on NPR, and weekly
on Seattle stations KSER, FM and KONP, AM. She also performs
her staged reading of her book, “The Immigrant’s Table,”
throughout the country. Sanelli divides her time between
Honolulu and Seattle. http://www.marylousanelli.com
