[Yale-readings] Graduate Poets Reading Series: Monica Ong - 3/28, 5:30pm, LC 211

[Kuhl, Nancy]

Dear colleagues:
The spring season of the Yale Graduate Poets Reading Series commences on Tuesday, March 28 at 5:30pm in Linsly-Chittenden Hall, Room 211, with a very special multimedia presentation by poet and visual artist Monica Ong. Ms. Ong will be reading and presenting artwork from her first book Silent Anatomies, about which Joy Harjo notes, "This is one of the most unique poetry collections. It’s a kind of graphic poetry book, but that’s not exactly it either. Poetry unfurls within, outside and through images. They establish stark bridges between ancestor and descendant time and presence. This collection is highly experimental and exciting."

Kimberly Quiogue Andrews, a lecturer in the English department, and Erik Freer, an MFA candidate in the Art School, will serve as Ms. Ong's opening acts.

Monica Ong is a visual artist and poet whose hybrid image-poems juxtapose diagram and diary, bearing witness to silenced histories of the body. She completed her MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design and is also a Kundiman poetry fellow. Her work has been published in several journals including the Lantern Review, Drunken Boat, Glassworks Magazine, Loaded Bicycle, Tidal Basin Review, and the Seneca Review. She has also been exhibiting her art for over a decade. Ms. Ong’s debut collection, Silent Anatomies, was selected by poet Joy Harjo as winner of the Kore Press First Book Award.
Kimberly Quiogue Andrews is a poet, critic, essayist, and Pennsylvanian. A two-time Academy of American Poets prize winner and a Pushcart nominee, you can find her work in various genres in RHINO, The Normal School, West Branch, BOMB, the Los Angeles Review of Books, ASAP/J, Textual Practice, and other venues. She received her doctorate in English from Yale University.

Erik Freer is an artist, writer and designer currently pursuing his MFA in Graphic Design at the Yale School of Art.
