MFA Reading March 24
So I'm getting all set to graduate from Hamline this spring.I defended my thesis a few weeks ago and it went well... I think I'm graduating with honors or something like that. Assuming I get all my paperwork in order. Which I plan to do.
I'll be doing a public reading at Hamline (Giddens Leraning Center 100E) on Friday, March 24 at 7:30 pm along with three other MFA candidates.
I haven't decided exactly what to read yet. I think I need to read from both my poetry and my prose stuff since I did a separate thesis in each genre.
The prose is easy to decide-- I'm set to read the short story "Mary's Baby" that formed the basis of the novel, Shooting the Thorn Tree, and is embedded in the text.
Poetrywise I'd like to grab something from each section in the poetry manuscript, The Jigsaw People. Then I'll get some family poems, some god poems and some infertility poems. I'm not as nervous as I think I should be because I am too tired.
So I'm going to go get some shut-eye.
