On Wednesday, November 9th, there will be a reading of excerpts from my work at Columbia University in Manhattan, New York thanks to the Heyman Center for the Humanities. I have decided to focus on new works, so we'll hear from two of my 'works in progress': a monologue about the Odyssey in translation, and a scene from a horror story set during colonial America. The first is a prose piece, while the second is entirely in verse. What the two pieces have in common are a pair of protagonists who filter military behavior through a mythic lens.
I will be at the event thanks to the thoughtfulness of playwright-poet Maurice DeCaul, who recommended me to the Heyman Center, along with the military veteran and poet Jenny Pacanowksi. Our work will be read by members of the Bedlam Outreach community, which is natural enough since Jenny and I work pretty frequently with that community.
Here is the information for the event, as copied from the Heyman Center's website:
