Reading Series: Rebecca Makkai and Jorie Graham
Join us for conversations between the finest writers at work today. Available for live online streaming from anywhere.
Short Story writer and novelist Rebecca Makkai’s most recent novel, The Great Believers, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. It won the ALA Carnegie Medal, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. The author of three other books of fiction, her stories have been honored by The Best American Short Stories and Selected Shorts series.
Jorie Graham is, according to the Poetry Foundation, “one of the most celebrated poets of the post-war generation.” She has been the winner of the Pulitzer and Forward Poetry prizes, and she is the first woman to serve as the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University. Her new collection, Runaway, is just out this fall.
This event has been made possible with the support of the Jane Flanders Fund and the Marianne Moore Fund for the Study of Poetry.
