Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts will welcome award-winning poet Brenda Shaughnessy and four seniors from the Program in Creative Writing to read their work on Oct. 10 at Labyrinth Books, 122 Nassau Street.
Shaughnessy’s most recent collection of poetry is Our Andromeda. She is also the author of Human Dark with Sugar, which was named a finalist for the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award. Her poems have appeared in Harpers, McSweeney’s, The Nation, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Slate.com and elsewhere. She currently works as the poetry editor-at-large at Tin House Magazine, and as an assistant professor of English in the M.F.A. Program at Rutgers University-Newark.
Featured student writers Sam Butler, Anya Lewis-Meeks, Allison Somers, and Aron Wander, will read excerpts from their senior thesis projects.
The reading begins at 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
