On Thursday, October 17th at 4:30pm, The New Writing Series will feature Canadian writer Rod Moody-Corbett.
Moody-Corbett will read from his debut novel, Hides, published by Breakwater Books (St. John’s, Newfoundland). The Literary Review of Canada recently described Hides as “a staggering exploration of the way indifference festers, solidifies, forces us into exile — be it physical, moral, intellectual, or otherwise.”
Light refreshments will be served in the IMRC (Stewart Commons 104) starting at 4:15pm. Hollie Adams will introduce the author and host the Q&A to follow.
The New Writing Series is sponsored by the English Department in partnership with the Center for Poetry and Poetics (formerly the National Poetry Foundation). Since its inception in 1999, the series has hosted more than 400 creative writers in a wide range of genres for live readings on campus. This fall the series marks its 25th anniversary by offering seven events, all of which take place in the Fernald APPE Space (in the IMRC) on Thursday afternoons at 4:30pm. They are free and open to the public
Other authors featured this fall include Dawn Lundy Martin (introduced by Jennifer Moxley), Babak Lakghomi (introduced by Greg Howard), Daisy Fried (introduced by Steve Evans), and Nick Rees Gardner (introduced by Morgan Talty).
