Foust/Wagner Reading at Notre Dame

Please join the Creative Writing Program for a reading by poets Graham Foust and Catherine Wagner. They will read selections from their work at the Hammes Bookstore on Tuesday, December 2 at 7:30 pm.

Foust is the author of three books of poems, most recently Necessary Stranger. He lives in Oakland, California and directs the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Saint Mary's College in Moraga, where he teaches in the graduate and undergraduate programs. According to Publisher's Weekly, his third book, Necessary Stranger is "intense, hip, ironic and subtly humorous."

Wagner was born in Burma (Myanmar) and grew up in Baltimore. Her books include Macular Hole, Miss America, and many chapbooks, recently including Everyone in the Room is a Representative of the World at Large, Hole in the Ground, and the forthcoming Bornt. Her work, also according to Publisher's Weekly, shows that she is "a wary critic of consumer culture questioning linguistic givens." Wagner teaches in the MA program at Miami University in Ohio.
