LBCC Valley Writers Series Hosts Peter Jensen

Author and English instructor Peter Jensen will discuss his works on Shakespeare as part of the Valley Writers Series at Linn-Benton Community College on Wednesday, Feb. 22 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in North Santiam Hall, room NSH-106, 6500 Pacific Blvd. SW, Albany.

Jensen recently published two works on Shakespeare: Shakespeare’s Name Code, a recently updated chronology of research surrounding Shakespeare’s autobiographical code, and his newly released novel, Shakespeare’s Lovers, a fictional adventure mystery that covers Shakespeare’s life in London and Stratford from 1587 to 1616. He will read from his new novel, Shakespeare’s Lovers, and will describe his journey of research and discovery.

Jensen is a faculty member in the English department at LBCC where he teaches Shakespeare, fiction, science fiction and writing. He received a B.A. in English, philosophy, and anthropology from the University of Michigan and an M.A. in English from New York University.

The Valley Writers Series is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the LBCC English Department. The series exists to connect beginning writers with professional writers and to stimulate creative writing among area students, to enhance literary awareness in our community and to encourage Oregon writers.
