She is also a UCSC creative writing alum! \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing. I’m hoping it will encourage our students to think outside the box and have fun with their writing. In general\, I’m confident this will be a really fun series with a lot of writers with great senses of humor as well as deep interests in the political.” – Professor Micah Perks \nThis event is free and open to the public!

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Lev Grossman
DESCRIPTION:Lev Grossman: I was born in 1969 and grew up in Lexington\, MA. My parents were both English professors\, so naturally I read a lot. I read a lot in college too\, and read even more in graduate school. Then I moved to New York City and started writing full time. \nMy first novel\, Warp\, came out in 1997. My second\, Codex\, was published in 2004 and became an international bestseller. The Magicians was published in 2009 and was a New York Times bestseller and one of the New Yorker‘s best books of the year. The sequel\, The Magician King\, came out in 2011 and was a Times bestseller too. The third and (almost certainly) last Magicians book\, The Magician’s Land\, was published in 2014 and debuted at #1 on the bestseller list. \nThe Magicians books have now been published in twenty-five countries and have gotten praise from among others George R.R. Martin\, John Green\, Audrey Niffenegger\, Erin Morgenstern\, Joe Hill\, William Gibson\, Kelly Link\, Gregory Maguire\, and Junot Diaz. A Syfy series based on the trilogy is currently shooting and will premiere in early 2016. \nI also write a lot of journalism. I’ve been the book critic at Time magazine since 2002. The New York Timesdescribed me as “among this country’s smartest and reliable critics.” I’ve written a dozen or so cover stories for Time\, and my essays and criticism have also been in the Believer\, the Village Voice\, the Wall Street Journal\, the New York Times\, Salon\, Slate\, Wired\, Entertainment Weekly\,  the Week\, Lingua Francaand many other places. I’ve won several awards for journalism\, including a Deadline award in 2006. I make regular appearances on campuses\, including Harvard\, Yale and Oxford\, and as a commentator on NPR. \nI live in Brooklyn with my wife\, two daughters and one son\, in a creaky old house. \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing. I’m hoping it will encourage our students to think outside the box and have fun with their writing. In general\, I’m confident this will be a really fun series with a lot of writers with great senses of humor as well as deep interests in the political.” – Professor Micah Perks \nThis event is free and open to the public!

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Emily Hunt & Julien Poirier
DESCRIPTION:Emily Hunt is the author of the poetry collection Dark Green (The Song Cave\, 2015). She holds an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and her poems have appeared in the Iowa Review\, the PEN Poetry Series\, The Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day Feature\, TYPO\, The Volta\, Diagram\, and elsewhere. In 2013\, Brave Men Press published This Always Happens\, a book of her drawings\, and she has provided cover art for several poetry collections. She lives in Oakland\, CA. \n  \nPoet Julien Poirier grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and was educated at Columbia University. He has described his poems as a system or a conversation already in progress\, aligning observed and spoken ephemera with sound echoes\, tracing the movement of a restless mind across themes of politics\, poetics\, and daily life. In an article on reading Poirier for EOAGH: A Journal of the Arts\, poet Filip Marinovich stated\, “Poirier is a Genius in the classical sense: a resident spirit of Poetry\, arcangeling words through the top of one’s lifted head. …” In a 2013 interview with Noel Black for BOMB Magazine\, Poirier offered the following: “It’s exciting to be writing poems now … because if you can plunge into the simultaneity of all of these events that warped you in some way\, drove you crazy or forced you to find some narrow streak of optimism in the evident relentless disaster\, then you might\, as a poet\, be able to get deeper and deeper into an understanding of what’s happening. You might be able to understand the way things work together and make a poem map\, ‘a map to the map’ as my friend Tony said\, before you forget. And it’s incredibly exciting because there are about a million ways to go about doing this.” \nPoirier is the author of the full-length poetry collection El Golpe Chileño (2010); several chapbooks\, including Flying Over the Fence with Amadou Diallo (2000)\,Short Stack (2005)\, and Stained Glass Windows of California (2012); and the formally innovative newspaper novel Living! Go and Dream (2005). \nA founding member of Ugly Duckling Presse Collective\, Poirier edited the New York Nights newspaper from 2001 to 2006. He has taught poetry in New York City public schools and at San Quentin State Prison. He lives in Berkeley with his wife and two daughters. \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing. I’m hoping it will encourage our students to think outside the box and have fun with their writing. In general\, I’m confident this will be a really fun series with a lot of writers with great senses of humor as well as deep interests in the political.” – Professor Micah Perks \nThis event is free and open to the public!
