1718 Presents Ed Skoog
The first 1718 event of 2010 will be held Tuesday, January 19th at 7pm! Our featured reader, Ed Skoog, is flying in from Seattle and is the author of “Mister Skylight.” Though Skoog was born in Topeka, Kansas, he served as an Adjunct Instructor at both U.N.O. and Tulane, taught poetry at N.O.C.C.A. and served as a grant writer and website manager for the New Orleans Museum of Art. His poetry has appeared many prestigious literary journals such as American Poetry Review, Paris Review, Poetry, and Plougshares. He’s received awards such as four Pushcart nominations, the Poetry Society of America’s Lyric Poetry Award and the Bread Loaf Writers Conference Morrison Scholar.
And, as always, student readers from the local universities will follow Skoog after a brief intermission. So put on your scarf and gloves and meet at the Columns for a warm night in the cramped space of spoken literature.
Also, feel free to look at Ed Skoog’s website at www.edskoog.com to learn more about his work.
Our student readers include Engram Wilkinson from Tulane and Jonas Griffin from Loyola.
lol a lot of of the responses bloggers write are kinda silly, oftentimes i ponder whether they really read the article and items before writing a comment or whether or not they simply just look at the title of the article and publish the first thing that drifts into their heads. anyways, it’s pleasing to browse through smart commentary occasionally as opposed to the very same, classic blog vomit which i mainly discover on the net i’m going to have fun with a smattering of rounds of zynga poker hasta la vista
