Join us for an evening with Jennifer Hope Choi as part of Columbia’s Art + Life series, a programme of intimate conversations with poets and writers organized by Columbia’s Undergraduate Creative Writing Program for majors and aficionados. Art + Life has hosted writers like Ladan Osman, Hernan Diaz, Phillip B. Williams, Bushra Rehman, Morgan Parker, Tommy Pico, Jenny Zhang, Eileen Myles and many others, and provides an opportunity for students to ask the invited reader questions and to engage in roundtable discussions with the artist.
Jennifer Hope Choi is the recipient of the 2020-2022 Tulsa Artist Fellowship, the Carson McCullers Center’s Marguerite and Lamar Smith Fellowship, the BuzzFeed Emerging Writer Fellowship, and the AHL Foundation’s inaugural Wolhee Choe Art Writers Grant. She is also a Bread Loaf and Sewanee Writers’ Conference scholar and an Aspen Words fellow. She has been anthologized in Best American Travel Writing and A Measure of Belonging: Twenty-One Writers of Color on the New American South. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Virginia Quarterly Review, Guernica, The American Scholar, Lucky Peach, BuzzFeed, and Bon Appétit. Her debut, The Wanderer's Curse, published by W. W. Norton & Company, is out now.
