Join us for an afternoon with John Domini, Lowell Mick White, and Alysa Hayes. Domini will read from his recent short story collection, MOVIEOLA! (Dzanc Books); White will read fiction from Inside Outside Upside Down (Buffalo Times Press, forthcoming); and Hayes will read poetry from her forthcoming collection.

MovieolaJohn Domini (below center) has earned rare praise for his new set of short stories, MOVIEOLA! Critics are calling it “the smartest kind of fun,” “feverishly exuberant,” and “a glory.” The book offers a romp through the cineplex of the moviemaker’s mind, in which the usual heroes, the superman or the assassin or the sports star, are trotted out for various dry runs. Thus we may recognize the narrative outlines, but we’ve never seen them so twisted. Is this storytelling, or its opposite? Come see if you can find out, as Domini reads from his book and then takes questions. The discussion will also touch on his wide range of other publications—novels, journalism, criticism, and poetry—and on his teaching, at Harvard, Northwestern, and elsewhere.

Lowell Mick White (below left) is the author of three books: Professed and That Demon Life, novels, and Long Time Ago Good, a story collection. Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award and a Dobie-Paisano Fellow, White teaches at Texas A&M University.

An administrator at an Austin software company, Alysa Hayes’s (below right) poetry has appeared in Callaloo and Big Tex[t].
