Dana Crum, Nate Gleiner and Erich Schweikher Read at UC
When: Thursday, January 23, 2014, at 7 pm
Where: The University of Cincinnati (2600 Clifton Ave.), in the Elliston Poetry Room (Langsam Library, room 646)
Free and open to the public.
Crum, Gleiner and Schweikher are all members of the English Department at The Seven Hills School.
Dana Crum is the author of the forthcoming chapbook Good Friday 2000 (Q Ave Press). He is currently the Writer-in-Residence at Seven Hills and was a Writing Resident at the Vermont Studio Center in March. The Paris Review Daily profiled him last year. Crum’s poetry and fiction have appeared, or are forthcoming, in Blackbird, Killens Review of Arts & Letters, North Chicago Review, The Innisfree Poetry Journal, Gumbo: An Anthology of African American Writing, The Source, Bronx Biannual, African Voices, Carve Magazine and other publications. NPR affiliate 91.5 FM WBEZ Chicago broadcast a dramatic reading of his story “My Heavenly Father” as part of its Stories on Stage program.
Nate Gleiner is in the throes of his thirteenth year of teaching high school English, the last twelve of which he has spent at The Seven Hills School. He has dabbled with writing poetry since his youth, though he still considers himself the greenest of amateurs. He holds an M.A. from Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf School of English. In his work, he seeks inspiration from the Appalachian Mountains of his Virginia youth and the Atlantic Ocean of his New England roots.
Erich Schweikher has written over five hundred pages of prose in the last four years. Four hundred and eighty of those pages have been in the form of college recommendation letters, scholarship recommendation letters, and award tributes. He once wrote a rec letter in iambic pentameter. It ended with a rhymed couplet. Occasionally he likes to write about other things, and in other genres. He has an MFA in poetry from Boise State University, where he worked with some of the most talented and lovely people ever to put pen to paper (fantastic cooks and horsemen too). His work has appeared in Hawai’i Pacific Review, Action Yes, and 42 Opus. He was re-founder and editor of cold-drill, Boise State’s literary journal and editor of the non-fiction essay collection Cycling’s Greatest Misadventures (Wilderness Press, 2007). For the last 15 years he’s had a healthy crush on the poet Lyn Hejinian.
