Terese Svoboda
Maureen Seaton
Gina Frangello


Tonight we are delighted to welcome three remarkable writers. Poet, fiction writer, and memoirist Terese Svoboda will be reading from her fifth poetry collection, Weapons Grade, and her new story collection, Trailer Girl. Vanity Fair praises, “Unnerve thyself: the violent and enthralling stories in Trailer Girl detonate on contact.” The New York Times called Trailer Girl, “a book of genuine grace and beauty.” Two-time Lambda Literary Award–winning poet and memoirist Maureen Seaton will be reading from her newest poetry collection, Cave of the Yellow Volkswagen, described as, “a testimony—windows up, radio rowdy—to astonishing escapes and (non)leaky endings.” Chicago-based fiction writer Gina Frangello is author of the novel My Sister’s Continent and the forthcoming story collection Slut Lullabies. She is an Executive Editor for OV Books and teaches at Columbia College Chicago and Northwestern University.
