Poet and novelist Judson Mitcham, the only two-time winner of the Townsend Prize for Fiction, will read from his work at Vanderbilt University.
Mitcham, visiting associate professor in fiction at Emory University, will read at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, in Room 102 of Buttrick Hall on the Vanderbilt campus.
“Mitcham can startle you with your own joyful laughter in the middle of a heartbreaking lyric,” said poet Mark Jarman, director of the creative writing program at Vanderbilt. “His poems not only benefit from the sense of timing a good storyteller has to have, but also from the novelist’s ear for authentic speech.”
The reading is part of the Gertrude Vanderbilt and Harold S. Vanderbilt Visiting Writers Program at Vanderbilt.
