February 16 (Thursday) - Saint Mary's Reading Series

Tammy Armstrong, originally from St. Stephen, New Brunswick, has travelled to more than twenty countries, lived for several years in Vancouver – where she completed an MFA at UBC – and is now based in Fredericton. This year she is in the U.S. on a Fulbright Scholarship, studying for a PhD in Animal Studies at Georgia State University. She has published two novels (Pye-Dogs and Translations: Airstream) and four collections of poems – Bogman’s Music (a Governor General’s Award nominee), Unravel, Take Us Quietly and, most recently, The Scare in the Crown (Goose Lane, 2010)."Armstrong’s writing has impressed me for its daring syntax, imaginative language, offbeat imagery. Hers are poems of sensual impact" – Todd Swift

Nick Thran has published two collections of poetry, Every Inadequate Name (nominated for the Gerald Lampert Award) and Earworm (Nightwood, 2011). After growing up in western Canada, Spain, and California, he lived in Toronto and in Brooklyn, New York. He has been a Goldwater Teaching Fellow and MFA candidate at New York University, and this year is living in Fredericton, where his wife, poet Sue Sinclair, is the current writer-in-residence at UNB. "Side-stepping the more likely subjects, Thran’s poems freewheel through a rangy lyricscape of our urban, cultural life. Sprawling, irrepressible, Earworm darts with wild control and energy, like a skateboard in a car park, taking the reader along on its engaging ride." – David O’Meara

 

The program will be held at 7 p.m. in the Atrium Building, Room AT101.
