la la la la guess who was selected to read at NYU’s Undergraduate Student Reading? That’s right, your’s truly! Next Friday, December 10th at 7:00 pm I will have two (count them, 2) minutes among many to share a poem or two with my fellow undergraduate writers and poets, our faculty, and anyone from the NYU community who wants to come. This will be by far the most official and the biggest audience I’ve ever shared my poems with. Exciting!
Every fall class in the undergraduate creative writing program will have four minutes to share work from their class. From the fiction and creative non-fiction classes, this will probably mean one student reading an excerpt from a larger work, while the poetry classes will most likely present two poets who will each share one or two poems. A great friend of mine will be sharing some of his fantastic fiction writing and I’m sure the rest of the readers will be wonderful as well. Matthew Rohrer will host the event.
Come hear some undergraduate work at the Lillian Vernon Writer’s House at NYU if you’re around on Friday! For most of us it will be the first time we’ve read in public, so it should be a very exciting event.
