Feeling poetic? Tuesday, December 6th at 5pm, you can marvel at the talents of UM alum, Lizzie Hutton. I heard about this event because I’m on the mailing list for the English Dept. stuff, being an English major, and it is part of the Zell Visiting Writers Series. I went to the Ghost Writers one, a seminar that they are actually bringing back next week I think, and that was really interesting and slightly spooky (if you’re into that, definitely attend). I’m excited to go to another one in this series considering how entertained I was by the Ghost Writers event. As an aspiring writer, these events are of course appealing, but even if you just enjoy good theatre, good stories, or in this case poetry, I suppose, definitely consider going. Since you hear the story/poem from the mouth of the author who wrote it, you really get swept up in the emotion that was intended by the author. I look forward to hearing Lizzie Hutton read some of her works for this same reason.
The e-mail I received as part of this Zell Series subscription says, “[Hutton’s] poetry has appeared in the Harvard Review, Yale Review, and Antioch Review…in 2009 she won the Sycamore Review’s Wabash Prize in poetry.” Along with that prize and other awards mentioned, Hutton has proven herself as someone worthy of notability in the literary world.
So, Tuesday, Dec. 6th at 5pm in 3222 Angell Hall, come and check out Lizzie Hutton for FREE! Hope to see you there!
