Tonight's program brings together two remarkably talented emerging literary voices. Leslie Jamison, graduate of Harvard and the Iowa Writer's Workshop, is currently a Ph.D. candidate in American Literature at Yale. Her gorgeous first novel, The Gin Closet, reveals the lives of two troubled women united by loneliness. It was nominated for the Los Angeles Times book prize and named one of the best books of 2010 by the San Francisco Chronicle. Booklist called it, "An exquisite blues of a novel." Poet Kiki Petrosino holds graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and the Iowa Writers Workshop. Her poems have appeared in FENCE, The New York Times, The Iowa Review, The Harvard Review, and elsewhere. She is currently a professor at the University of Louisville. |
