The San Joaquin Literary Association is at it again, this time at Fresno’s coolest fringe festival. Please come hear MFA students and members of SJLA read their poetry and prose at the 2011 Rogue Festival. All readings will be held at the amazing CIty Arts Gallery in the tower district (1475 N. VanNess). Each of four dates (March 4, 5, 6, and 12) features four readers. Admission is five dollars. We hope to see you there!
Join us as we celebrate three of our graduating students next Friday, November 19th, at 7:00 pm in the Alice Peters Auditorium. Laura Musselman, Amber Tidwell, and Kristofer Whited will all be reading in celebration of their completed or soon-to-be-completed theses. It’s sure to be a wonderful event!
Big congratulations are in order for Laura Musselman and Kristofer Whited, who will both be featured in upcoming issues of Monkey Puzzle Magazine. Laura’s essay “Let Me Hold My Banner High” and Kristofer’s short story “Fool Pain” have both been accepted for publication. Way to go, Laura and Kris!
Many of our MFA students are headed to prestigious nationwide summer workshops in the next few months, and we’d like to take a moment to recognize their accomplishment in being accepted, and to wish them luck. Way to represent the Fresno State MFA Program!
