Join Emerson College's department of Writing, Literature and Publishing (WLP) for our first Reading Series event of the fall semester!
On Thursday, November 9, we're welcoming Emerson alumni Elisa Gabbert and John Cotter to read from their work! This event is open to the public and will take place from 6-7:30pm at the Bill Bordy Theater on Tremont Street, following a Q&A for Emerson students. We expect to have copies of the authors' books for sale at the event.
This reading event is free, but registration is required. **The deadline to register is Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 11:59 PM.** Register here: tinyurl.com/WLPNov9
Please also note that visitors from outside of the College who register to attend the event should be prepared to provide your name, email address, and photo ID upon event check-in.
About the authors:
Elisa Gabbert is the author of six collections of poetry, essays, and criticism, most recently Normal Distance (Soft Skull, 2022) and The Unreality of Memory & Other Essays (FSG, 2020), a New York Times Editors' Pick and finalist for the Colorado Book Award. She writes the On Poetry column for the New York Times, and her work has appeared in Harper’s, The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, and The Believer. Her next nonfiction book, Any Person Is the Only Self, will be published by FSG in 2024.
John Cotter is the author of Under The Small Lights, winner of the Miami University novella prize, and the memoir Losing Music, about which Oprah Daily wrote: "This memoir is as much a love letter to sound itself as it is a chronicle of loss; your world will sound different after reading it." He has contributed essays, theater pieces, and fiction to the New England Review, Raritan, Guernica, Prairie Schooner, Commonweal, and The New York Times Magazine. He's been a resident artist at SPACE Gallery and the James Merrill House.
