Writers Series: Katy Lederer

American poet and memoirist Katy Lederer reads from her most recent work, "The Heaven-Sent Leaf," a collection of poetry inspired by her time working in Manhattan for D.E. Shaw, one of the world's largest hedge funds. Prior to her six years with Shaw, Lederer published "Winter Sex," another book of poetry and her memoir, "Poker Face: Girlhood Among Gamblers." "Poker Face" was included in Publishers Weekly's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year and named one of the best books of 2003 by Esquire magazine. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and the Iowas Writers Workshop, Lederer is the poetry editor of Fence magazine.
