Writer-in-Residence Richard Meier to give book reading at Columbia College
Professor Richard Meier, Carthage writer-in-residence, will read from his new book, “A Duration,” and his forthcoming book, “A Companion,” at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, at Columbia College in Chicago (1104 S. Wabash, 1st Floor, Conway Center).
Prof. Meier will join poet and scholar Tony Trigilio as part of the the Efroymson Creative Writing Reading Series. The series is one of the most dynamic, aesthetically diverse events of its kind in the city. Hosted by the English and Creative Writing Department, the series attracts prestigious, award-winning fiction writers, poets, and nonfiction writers who perform, engage, and educate on a myriad of topics and traditions.
The series is committed to curating critically engaged contemporary works that challenge traditional discourse and embrace culturally relevant, diverse voices. The unique connection to the vibrant cultural and educational district in the South Loop sets the stage for some of the most fascinating, inspiring, and influential conversations on the literary arts.
All events are free and open to the public, taking place on campus and online via Zoom.
