We are delighted MFA Alum and English faculty member Rebecca Suzuki will read from her Loose Translation Award-Winning book When My Mother Was Most Beautiful. If you haven’t yet heard or read her exquisite prose you will want to. If you have, you will more!
Brainstorm has got a great series of events lined up for the spring. Check it out!
Our first event of the semester is a collaboration with Off the Page. Ava Chin will read from her memoir Mott Street, followed by conversation with QC President Frank Wu. She’ll be signing books too.
Take a look at our terrific lineup of spring events. (Register for the March 7 event with Vivian Gornick here.)
And, a reading by N.K. Jemisin (the first author to win three consecutive
Best Novel Hugo Awards) has been added to the lineup on March 27, at 7PM in the Godwin-Ternbach Museum!
Just another reason to come visit us at QC MFA!
Come along to celebrate the launch of The Queens Review. Contact Julie Goodale if you’d like to read.
You are invited to CREATIVE NONFICTION NOW, sponsored by the MFA Program in Creative Writing & Literary Translation–October 18, 2023. The event will include reading and conversation with Bridgett Davis, Carina del Valle Schorske, and Cutter Wood, moderated by alum and colleague Francesca Hyatt. Zoom registration here.
Think growing up in Detroit 1970s Detroit with a mother who was a numbers runner; Puerto Rican backup dancers, graffiti artists, indigenous cave painters, state-funded photographers, tenement dwellers, and out-of-print poets; and investigative reporting on the vicissitudes of human waste (including a vomit cult).
These are great writers. They’ll discuss their publication experience, what “Creative Nonfiction” means—if it means anything—as well as the first-hand research they do for their projects—spending time in places, interviewing strangers, friends, and family. There will be plenty of time for spontaneous discussion.
