Literary reading program presents October poetry reading

The event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Department of English, the Creative Writing Program and Experience Liberal Arts, a monthlong celebration highlighting programs in the College of Liberal Arts.

Roeser, a visiting professor at Purdue, is the author of the poetry collections "In the Truth Room" and "Beautiful Motion." Both are recipients of the Samuel French Morse Prize. "Beautiful Motion" also received the Great Lakes College Association New Writers Award.

Her work has been published in many journals, including The Iowa Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, Prairie Schooner, Another Chicago Magazine and Indiana Review. Her work also has been featured on the Poetry Daily Web site (https://www.poems.com/).

She also has received fellowships from the Mary Anderson Center for the Arts, Virginia Center for the Arts and Le Moulin á Nef in France. She previously taught at Butler University.

October's Experience Liberal Arts will feature a variety of lectures, films, performances, events and exhibits that reflect the college's ongoing coursework and research in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences.
