The Writing Institute's Wrexham Road Reading Series is an event that brings together writers from within and outside the Sarah Lawrence College community to share their work.
This week I spoke with two guests of this Reading Series, Mary-Kim Arnold and Kirstin Chen. The series will be held at Sarah Lawrence College on October 18th at 6:30pm.
Mary-Kim Arnold is the author of Litany for the Long Moment (Essay Press) and the chapbook Between Night & Night (Artifact Press). Other work has appeared in The Georgia Review, Hyperallergic, and The Rumpus, where she serves on the Advisory Committee. She holds graduate degrees from Vermont College of Fine Arts and Brown University, where she teaches Nonfiction Writing Program. She was born in Seoul, South Korea and lives in Rhode Island.
Kirstin Chen's new novel, Bury What We Cannot Take (Little A, March 2018), has been named a Most Anticipated Upcoming Book by Electric Literature, The Millions, The Rumpus, Harper's Bazaar, and InStyle, among others. She is also the author of Soy Sauce for Beginners. She was the fall 2017 NTU-NAC National Writer in Residence in Singapore, and has received awards from the Steinbeck Fellows Program, Sewanee, Hedgebrook, and the Napa Valley Writers' Conference.
