Kicking off the spring semester\u2019s set of guest author visits, LVC will welcome poet Asiya Wadud to campus this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wadud authored many physical poetry collections and chapbooks. Her latest work is the collection \u201cMandible Wishbone Solvent,\u201d published by the University of Chicago Press last week on Monday, Feb. 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout the collection lies an acknowledgment that any hold will drift, meander, and find new paths, with each separation making space for new entanglements,\u201d the University of Chicago Press described on the collection\u2019s webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several poems in the collection are ekphrastic. This means they narrate a scene, usually from a work of art, to augment and extend its meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wadud also wrote exhibition texts for collections of artwork. Most recently, she wrote the exhibition text for artist Emiliana Henriquez\u2019s painting collection \u201cPhilospophia,\u201d shown Sept. 6 to Oct. 7, 2023, at the Fortnight Institute art gallery in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wadud lives in New York and teaches poetry at Saint Ann\u2019s School, Columbia University and the Pacific Northwest College of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students of all majors are encouraged to bring their questions to Wadud\u2019s reading and subsequent Q&A session. The event will take place in the Bishop Library Atrium on Tuesday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m. Registration for virtual attendance via Zoom can be found at the event\u2019s page on LVC\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
