English professor to read short fiction
|
Nicole Reid, assistant professor of English, will open the fall 2007 College of Liberal Arts Faculty Colloquia Series by reading a short story, “Honeydew,” from her recently completed short story collection, We Want it Back. She will read the story at 3:30 p.m. Friday, September 28, in Kleymeyer Hall in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. “Honeydew,” already published in The Southern Review, is about a young woman who has had a cicada hibernating in her armpit for 13 years, waiting to emerge. Reid is the author of the novel In the Breeze of Passing Things (MacAdam/Cage, 2003). Her stories and poems have appeared in Quarterly West, Meridian, Black Warrior Review, Confrontation, turnrow, New Orleans Review, Crab Orchard Review, and Grain. She is the winner of the 2001 Willamette Award in Fiction, and also won awards from the Pirate’s Alley William Faulkner Short Story Competition, the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Society, and Glimmer Train. Reid joined the University in 2004. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in creative writing from George Mason University. She teaches creative writing, is co-director of the RopeWalk Reading Series, and faculty advisor to the Student Writers Union and The Aerie. The colloquium is a free lecture series featuring faculty research in the College of Liberal Arts. For more information, contact Dr. Teresa Huerta, colloquium coordinator, at 812/465-7053. |
