MFA Graduate Reading

Next week, on True Life: I'm an MFA Graduate. On Monday November 8th, Dustin Flickinger, Alexander York, and Gilberto Zamora will share their stories (and poems). Trust us, you don't want to miss this (they're good).

The reading will be held in the Gage Gallery at 5pm, with coffee and conversation at 4:30pm. There have been rumors of cake, but you'll only know for sure if you tune in (and show up) at 18 S Michigan to see for yourself. Come support Roosevelt's magnificent graduates.

MFA student York publishes more poems

Alexander’s recent publication is with Another Chicago Magazine and his poem “Nothing is Living in the Lake” will appear in ACM #50. His sister poem “Everything is Living in the Lake,” is forthcoming in the 2010 May issue of Word Riot.

What are some of the influences of Alexander York?

"If I told you Chicago wasn’t an influence, I’d be lying," says York. "Since moving to the city, I have changed numerous aspects of my writing, but working my way through a two and a half year MFA program helps the development quite a bit too. I try my best to mix the experience of city life and my small town familiarity I have embedded from living mostly in Ohio."
