[Cwgrad-announcements] Reading at Skylight Books

[Robin Russin]

I wholeheartedly agree, and congratulate you all.

I also would like to suggest, if further events like this are  
planned, that MFA's from all five of our writing disciplines be  
contacted and included if possible.

For one thing, these are wonderful events and should be opportunities  
for ALL of you, from poets to playwrights. For another, they are  
great vehicles for building a sense of cohesion in our program, which  
is sometimes not as strong as it should be.

In any event, kudos to all who gave readings.

Best,

Robin Russin
