Well-Read

Tomorrow’s great writers, today. That’s the promise of a new reading series launched by Inprint Inc., creators of the justly famous Inprint - Brown Reading Series. To provide a more intimate experience for Houston readers, and to introduce emerging writers, Inprint looked to UH’s Creative Writing Program. Four former students of the CWP will anchor the Inprint Studio Series, which debuted in September. Farnoosh Moshiri (MFA '00), Andrew Feld (MFA '98), Pimone Triplett, and Emily Fox Gordon will read their works of fiction, poetry, and memoir in modest, comfortable venues like the UH Honors College and Diverseworks’ studio. The public is welcome and the readings are free. Next up, Farnoosh Moshiri, October 19, 6 p.m. at the Honors College Commons. Publishers Weekly called her novel Against Gravity “poignant...it carefully observes the effects of loss on three people in 1980s Houston.”
