Join us for an evening with Eloisa Amezcua as part of Columbia University’s Art + Life series, a program of intimate conversations with poets and writers organized by Undergraduate Creative Writing. Recent guests include Ladan Osman, Hernan Diaz, Phillip B. Williams, Morgan Parker, Rita Bullwinkel, Katie Kitamura, Olga Ravn, Eileen Myles, and many others. Art + Life provides an opportunity for students to ask the invited reader questions and to engage in roundtable discussions with the artist.
Amezcua will be in conversation with Adjunct Associate Professor Alan Gilbert.
Please join us before the event for the Undergraduate Creative Writing Fall Open House!
