LA-Lit interviews Maggie Nelson
Sunday, March 11 at 3pm
At Betalevel

We’d like to invite you to a live radio recording, reading & conversation this coming Sunday March 11 at 3 p.m. at Betalevel in Chinatown. Maggie Nelson will be the featured writer on LA-lit, a radio show co-curated by Mathew Timmons & Stephanie Rioux. The show (& hence the recording) lasts a little over an hour and will be about 30 minutes of reading & about 30 minutes of questions & answers/further questions – alternating between the two modes in hopes of creating a space for dynamic conversation.

For information about attending the recording go here.

Maggie Nelson is the author of several books of poetry, including Jane: A Murder, (2005; finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir), The Latest Winter (2003), and Shiner (2001), as well as the forthcoming collection Something Bright, Then Holes (2007). In 2007 she will also publish The Red Parts, a nonfiction book about her family and criminal justice (Free Press/Simon & Schuster), and a critical study about poetry and painting, Women, The New York School, And Other True Abstractions (University of Iowa Press). She currently teaches at CalArts, and has taught literature and writing at the Graduate Writing Program of the New School, Pratt Institute of Art, and Wesleyan University.

Teresa Carmody is the author of Requiem, a micro-collection of short stories, which American Book Review calls “a celebratory lament” and poet Carol Muske Dukes calls “a Midwest scriptural mist: frank, fierce and fidgety, and most emphatically her own.” Other work has appeared in PoetsWest, Stolen Purse, Roar: Women’s Studies Journal, For Here or To Go, and 4th Street. She is cofounder and editor of Les Figues Press, publisher of the TrenchArt series of experimental literature, and co-curator (with Stan Apps and Ara Shirinyan) the Smell Last Sunday Reading series in downtown Los Angeles.
