Karla Deel will be exploring the 1920’s working class, labor, immigration, and underrepresented communities, especially in an era dominated by glitz and glamour, on from the local Kansas City stage to the broad national landscape.
Karla Deel lives and works as a writer, poet, researcher and freelancer in Kansas City, Mo. She has a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Media Arts from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where she was awarded the Stanley H. Durwood Fellowship. In 2019, she published her first book, Storied & Scandalous Kansas City, a History of Corruption Mischief and a Whole Lot of Booze (Globe Pequot Press). She was a member of the 2020 Kansas City Artist INC cohort and recently completed Arquetopia Foundation's month-long, competitive writers residency in Oaxaca, Mexico. Deel also serves on the Jackson County Historical Society board, works in communications for the Friends of the Kansas City Public Library, and volunteers for several local nonprofits.
