Friends, catch a few of our community members this weekend reading at The New Orleans Poetry Festival!
Louisiana State University is one of the few MFA programs in the state and one that encourages multi-genre and hybrid writing. To showcase its diversity and robustness of poetic styles, LSU presents a reading by professors, instructors, and graduate students. Contributors Adam Clay, Ariel Francisco, Jesse DeLong, Nuha Fariha, Brooke Stanish and Sarah Brockhaus will read in a range of forms, from traditional to experimental techniques. While reading from new and recently published work, each writer will explore the broader sense of place, both in Baton Rouge and beyond.
