This semester, LVC will host two new visiting writers as part of the English Department’s Writing: A Life series.

The first is poet Ananda Lima. She will be reading from her latest poetry collection, “Mother/Land,” a collection of poems about the immigrant experience, motherhood, multilingualism and issues of belonging.

“Writing: A Life is such a wonderful chance for students to have one-on-one interactions with writers doing exciting contemporary work,” Dr. Holly Wendt, associate professor of English and director of creative writing, said. “Bringing in writers beyond the LVC faculty expands our ways of thinking and our artistic sensibilities.”

The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place on Monday, March 21 at 7 p.m. in the Bishop Library Atrium and via Zoom. Registration for the Zoom link and additional information is available on the Writing: A Life website.
