[Cwgrad-announcements] Reading at Skylight Books

[Carly Kimmel]

I just wanted to send a note out to let everyone know what a great  
job Gaby Jauregui, Ky-Phong Tran, Joshua Hardina, and Kate Durbin did  
at the UCR  MFA reading hosted by Skylight Books last night.  The  
store was packed, the applause loud and continuous, and clearly  
people were impressed with what they heard. Being there to witness  
how well received these students were  in the "real world" made me  
proud and excited to be a part of this program. The staff from  
Skylight could not have been more supportive or complementary.

Hopefully we can take it upon ourselves to schedule regular readings  
so that more of us have a chance to participate in this wonderful  
experience. Obviously, it is really important that both faculty and  
students find the time to support each other's writing by attending  
readings and spreading the word about the work we are doing here.

Alex Espinoza will be reading from his newly released Still Water  
Saints next Saturday the 10th at Skylight Books, and Chris Abani read  
there as well this past Thursday to rave reviews from the staff.

Good work everyone!
