AAC Poetry Series Welcomes Poets Anthony McCann & Megan Martin

August 28, 2014

The Art Academy of Cincinnati welcomes poet Anthony McCann and poet/fiction writer Megan Martin  for a free public reading of their work at 7:00PM on Wednesday, Sept 3rd in Room N206. This is the first reading of the 2014-15 AAC Poetry Series. The series is sponsored by the Liberal Arts Department.

Anthony McCann was born and raised in the Hudson Valley. He is the author of Thing Music (forthcoming from Wave Books in 2014), ♥ Your Fate (Wave Books, 2011), Moongarden (Wave Books, 2006) and Father of Noise (Fence Books, 2003). In addition to these three collections, he is one of the authors of Gentle Reader!  (2007), a book of erasures of the English Romantics, along with Joshua Beckman and Matthew Rohrer. He lives in Los Angeles and teaches in the University of California-Riverside’s Palm Desert MFA program. He is the “Poet Laureate” of Machine Project and also teaches courses at the California Institute of the Arts. 

 

 

Megan Martin  grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a town constantly plagued by the smells of a cereal factory. Now she lives in Cincinnati with her boyfriend and 3 cats. Her first collection of prose things, Sparrow & Other Eulogies, was released in April 2011 by Gold Wake Press. Her prose have appeared in Denver Quarterly, Caketrain, Action, Yes!, Tarpaulin Sky and elsewhere. She’s the author of the short fiction collection Nevers (Caketrain Journal and Press 2014).  To view more of her work visit The Collagist.
 
In addition to Martin and McCann, current AAC student, Millie Ferguson, and recent AAC graduates, Chloë Bell and Billy Golden, will open the event with readings from their work.
 
Immediately following the reading, there will be a short OPEN MIC for anyone who’d like to share their work, then McCann and Martin will be available to answer questions and sign books. As always, coffee and fresh-baked robots will be available to take the edge off.
Hope to see you at the reading!
