Join us for something rather special: Austin Community College’s Creative Writing Department will be introducing us to the two winners of their 2017 Balcones Prize. Alessandra Lynch will read from her poetry collection, Daylily Called it a Dangerous Moment, and Brian Van Reet will read from his novel, Spoils. Sponsored by the Creative Writing Department. This event is free and open to the public.

Alessandra Lynch’s latest book is Daylily Called It a Dangerous Moment. She has received several fellowships, including residencies at Yaddo and the Macdowell Colony. Her poems have appeared in the American Poetry Review, Kenyon Review, The Massachusetts Review, Ploughshares, and other journals. Currently, she is poet-in-residence at Butler University.

Brian Van Reet is the author of Spoils, a novel that was named one of the best books of 2017 by the Guardian, Military Times, the Wall Street Journal, and others. He lives in Austin and has twice won the Texas Institute of Letters short story award.
