Live and in-person!

Join us for our last Writers at Queens event of the semester, as we celebrate Richard Prins on his winning the Birdhouse Prize from Ghostbird Press.

You may remember that over the past year Richard has also been included in The Best American Essays 2024 and won an NEA Fellowship, so we’re overjoyed to celebrate this great year with Richard!

Richard will read from his prize winning chapbook of poems, We May Eat Fruit, before he sits down with Ghostbird publisher, Peter Vanderberg, and Professor Roger Sedarat for a rousing discussion on going from manuscript to publication.

Ghostbird Press is a small, independent chapbook press that publishes collaborations of writing and visual art. Peter Vanderberg, also a QC MFA alum, offers the annual Birdhouse Prize to graduating QC MFA students, resulting in a gorgeous full-color chapbook for the winner, which just goes to show you the power of the QC MFA community!

We hope to see you there!
