[Wgcp-whc] Grad Poets Reading--Lucie Brock Broido

[Richard Deming]

 The Grad Poets Reading Series returns for the Spring 2014 semester with two exciting readings. The first will take place next Thursday, February 6th at 7:00 pm in LC 317 (63 High St., New Haven). The poet Lucie Brock-Broido will be joining us, reading with grad students Kevin Holden (Comp Lit) and Brandon Menke (English).



Lucie Brock-Broido received her B.A. and her M.A. from Johns Hopkins University, and her M.F.A. from Columbia University. Her most recent book Stay, Illusion, is a finalist for the 2013 National Book Award in Poetry. Her previous collections of poetry include Trouble in Mind (Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), recipient of the Massachusetts Book Award; The Master Letters (1995); and A Hunger (1988). In 2008, she edited and published Letters to a Stranger, Poems by Thomas James with Graywolf Press. Her awards and honors include the Witter-Bynner prize for poetry from the Academy of American Arts and Letters, the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Award, the Harvard-Danforth Award for Distinction in Teaching, the Jerome J. Shestack Poetry Prize from The American Poetry Review, two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2013, she was given the Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching.



We’ll have copies of Stay, Illusion available to purchase at the reading ($20, cash/check only).



Our next reading will take place much later this spring, when Paige Ackerson-Kiely joins us on April 24th.
