David Malone, an Olathe native, will be reading a selection of his poems from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Oread Books in the Kansas Union.
The reading is in conjunction with National Poetry Month in April.
"We're familiar with his work, and we carry his two books." said Lisa Eitner, supervisor of Oread Books. "With his local connection, he just seemed like a good fit for an event here."
Malone received a bachelor's degree from Ottawa University and a master's degree from Indiana State University. He teaches at Southwest Missouri State University-West Plains.
Malone has two published collections, Poems to Love & the Body and Under the Sycamore. His poetry has appeared in numerous literary journals including Red Booth Review and Potpourri.

Man pleads innocent to killing wife, unborn son
MODESTO, Calif. — Scott Peterson pleaded innocent yesterday to killing his pregnant wife and unborn son, as the district attorney filed murder charges and said he would probably seek the death penalty.
"I am not guilty," a clean-shaven Peterson said during a brief arraignment in Stanislaus County Superior Court.
Prosecutors filed the murder charges hours before Peterson, 30, appeared in the Modesto courtroom. In the filing, District Attorney James Brazelton said Peterson acted "intentionally, deliberately and with premeditation" in killing 27-year-old Laci Peterson and Conner Peterson, the couple's unborn child.
Their bodies washed ashore last week about three miles from where Peterson said he was fishing in San Francisco Bay when his wife — who was eight months pregnant — vanished just before Christmas.
"It's hard for me to realistically believe it is anything but a death penalty case at this time," Brazelton told ABC News.
Brazelton didn't return messages left yesterday by The Associated Press.
The charges against Peterson include the special circumstance that he committed more than one murder, allowing the district attorney to seek the death penalty.
California law permits a murder charge for a fetus if a pregnant woman is slain, even if the fetus is not viable, said Hallye Jordan, representative for the state attorney general. The law has been on the books for about 30 years.
Documents filed by prosecutors said the killings happened at the Petersons' home in Modesto between Dec. 23 and Dec. 24.
