Laura Glenum wrap up!

February has been a great month for New Orleans, but let’s not forget the great 1718 reading that happened on February 2nd!

Although the room was not quite as packed as it normally is, the reading went very well; Lara Glenum has a great stage presence. Her poetry really came to life through the careful rhythm of her melodic voice. She brought a new perspective on life and organisms, relishing in the grotesque. She read from two of her books, The Hounds of No and Maximum Gaga, to the enjoyment of all.

After the intermission, we enjoyed listening to the fictional works of Tulane sophomore Sophie Untermann, followed by the fiction of Loyola senior Michael Truran. It was a great night, and if you missed it, then you should put 1718’s March 2nd reading on your calendar right now!
