SUMMARY:Living Writers: Alfredo Vea
DESCRIPTION:Alfredo Vea \nAlfredo Véa was born in the desert outside of Phoenix\, but not in America. His grandfather was a Yaqui Indian\, his grandmother was a Spanish-Mexican curandera who had played piano in silent movie theaters. Their grass covered adobe house stood at the epicenter of hundreds of tarpaper shacks built by Okies and Arkies. There were Apaches\, Tarahumara\, Navajo\, Hindus and black folk everywhere\, waiting for trucks to take them to the cotton fields. While his mother barely endured life in this impoverished Babel\, her son lived in a wonderland. He luxuriated in the sound of Uto-aztecan\, Athabascan\, Dravidian and drawl—and the sounds of bible thumping and jive. After ten years or so he was dragged away to work on the migratory labor circuit in California\, the land of stucco houses and aluminum window frames. All of it was drudgery until he began working in vineyards. Then he was ripped away from the vines to become a soldier\, enslaved in Vietnam. Today\, he is an attorney in San Francisco. If you ask him who he is he will never say “lawyer” or “writer.”  Touch him and you will find that his skin is adobe. In his dreams\, there are goats scuffling about on the roof and he and his grandfather are asleep on a cot under the stars. \nLiving Writers is a series of events that are free to students and the public\, and happens every Thursday night from 6-7:45pm in the Humanities Lecture Hall\, room 206. This series will be focusing on fiction writers as well as filmmakers. It’s going to be an exciting series and we hope to see you there!  For more details\, please email us at cwintern@gmail.com \nLiving Writers Fall Schedule 2016 \n9/22 No reading \n9/29 Chanan Tigay \n10/6 Jennifer Chang \n10/13 Michelle Tea \n10/20 Alfredo Vea \n10/27 Elizabeth Willis \n11/3 No reading \n11/10 Peter Orner \n11/17 No reading \n11/24—Thanksgiving \n12/1 Student Reading \nReadings sponsored by The Humanities Division\, The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Literature Department and Poets and Writers Inc.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Jennifer Chang
DESCRIPTION:Poet and scholar Jennifer Chang was born in New Jersey. She is a Henry Hoyns Fellow at the University of Virginia\, where she is a PhD candidate. Chang’s lyrical poems often explore the shifting boundaries between the outer world and the self. Chang’s debut poetry collection\, The History of Anonymity (2008)\, was selected for the Virginia Quarterly Review’s Poetry Series and was a finalist for the Shenandoah/ Glasgow Prize for Emerging Writers. Speaking to the “emotional landscapes” of myths and fairy tales that surface occasionally in her poems\, Chang stated in a 2008 interview on Critical Mass (the blog of the National Book Critics Circle board of directors): “As a scholar\, I don’t trust autobiography\, and as a lyric poet\, I don’t trust narrative: both enforce a coherence that reveals more about the writer’s motives at the moment rather than the life or story being told. What I do trust is mystery; I trust confusion.”Chang co-chairs the advisory board of Kundiman\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support and promotion of Asian American poetry. She lives in Charlottesville\, Virginia. \nLiving Writers is a series of events that are free to students and the public\, and happens every Thursday night from 6-7:45pm in the Humanities Lecture Hall\, room 206. This series will be focusing on fiction writers as well as filmmakers. It’s going to be an exciting series and we hope to see you there!  For more details\, please email us at cwintern@gmail.com \n10/13 experimental memoirist Michelle Tea\, author most recently of the apocalyptic memoir Black Wave \n10/20 novelist Alfredo Vea\, author most recently of The Mexican Flyboy\, about a Latino super hero who goes back in time to save historical heroes from painful deaths \n10/27 poet and Pulitzer prize finalist Elizabeth Willis \n  \n11/10 fiction and non-fiction writer Peter Orner\, author most recently of Am I Alone Here\, a memoir-essay hybrid about living to read/reading to live \nReadings sponsored by The Humanities Division\, The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Literature Department and Poets and Writers Inc.
