Evie Shockley & Trish Salah: Reading and Discussion

Join us for an evening of poetry and discussion with Evie Shockley and Trish Salah.

Shockley is the author of several collections of poetry, including a half-red sea (2006) and the new black (2011). In a review of The new black for Library Journal, Chris Pusateri observed, “Shockley’s work incorporates elements of myth without being patently ‘mythical’ and is personal without being self-indulgent, sentimental without being saccharine.”

Salah is a graduate of the creative writing program. Her most recent book, Lyric Sexology Vol. 1, employs the lyric as a lens to read transgender fantasies encoded in feminist, autobiographical, anthropological, sexological and psychoanalytic archives.

This event is part of the Off The Page Festival.
