Join us for an evening with Rita Bullwinkel 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, 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.
Rita Bullwinkel is the author of Headshot and Belly Up, a story collection that won the Believer Book Award. She is a 2022 recipient of a Whiting Award, the editor of McSweeney's Quarterly, a contributing editor at NOON, and the Picador Guest Professor of Literature at Leipzig University in Germany, where she teaches courses on creative writing, zines, and the uses of invented and foreign languages as tools for world building.
Bullwinkel will be in conversation with Adjunct Assistant Professor and Undergraduate Creative Writing Advisor in Fiction, Molly McGhee ‘20.
