October: Peter Cooley Wrap-Up
The October event brought us some competition on the national level. The reading conflicted with the Vice-Presidential debate, but we still managed to draw a spirited audience to fill every seat. Poetry v. Politics: you decide. I think we won.
It was a bit quieter than usual, but Peter Cooley gave a modest and marvelous reading. He read “a little bit of everything” from his seven collections. He also answered questions deftly and efficiently.
We also had the privilege of hosting three student readers: Daniel Dekegeland (Junior, UNO), Kerry Cullen (Sophomore, Loyola) and Nate Scott (Senior, Tulane). All of them continued to uphold the standard of excellence (some might say bodaciousness) that we’ve come to expect from our student readers.
As always, we had a drink-filled, literature-induced great time. Thank you to everyone who came to support us!
You all get metaphysical cookies… so good you can’t even perceive the tastiness. mmm… metaphysics.
