WLP Reading Series: John Cotter and Elisa Gabbert
November 9, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 7:30 pm EST
Elisa Gabbert, MFA ’05 is the author of six collections of poetry, essays, and criticism, most recently Normal Distance (Soft Skull, 2022) and The Unreality of Memory & Other Essays (FSG, 2020), a New York Times Editors’ Pick and finalist for the Colorado Book Award. She writes the “On Poetry” column for The New York Times, and her work has appeared in Harper’s, The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, and The Believer. Her next nonfiction book, Any Person Is the Only Self, will be published by FSG in 2024.
John Cotter ’98 is the author of Under The Small Lights, winner of the Miami University novella prize, and the memoir Losing Music, about which Oprah Daily wrote: “This memoir is as much a love letter to sound itself as it is a chronicle of loss; your world will sound different after reading it.” He has contributed essays, theater pieces, and fiction to the New England Review, Raritan, Guernica, Prairie Schooner, Commonweal, and The New York Times Magazine. He’s been a resident artist at SPACE Gallery and the James Merrill House.
The event is split into two parts, with the first half being a Q&A session for members of the Emerson College community and the second half being a public reading by the authors. Attendance is free, but registration is required by Nov. 8, 11:59 pm.
