SCOTT SOUTHWICK

Scott Southwick invented one of the pioneering search engines, Liszt.com, sold it before the dot-com bubble burst, squandered most of the money, and then used the last of it to open Sparky's Ice Cream. Along the way his short fiction has appeared in journals such as Gettysburg Review, Glimmer Train Stories and the current issue of The New England Review.

Orr Street Studios is located at 106 Orr St. in downtown Columbia, Mo. Join us every Tuesday evening during the academic year for literary readings and visual-arts presentations.
