The Hamilton College English Department is sponsoring a reading series during the fall. G.C. Waldrep, assistant professor of English at Bucknell University, will open the series on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 8 p.m., in the Fillius Events Barn. The readings are free and open to the public.
Waldrep teaches creative writing and directs the Bucknell Seminar for Younger Poets. He has written two full-length collections of poems, Goldbeater's Skin and Disclamor, and a chapbook titled The Batteries. He has also contributed work to journals such as Poetry, Ploughshares, Kenyon Review, Boston Review, New England Review, Colorado Review, Denver Quarterly and New American Writing. His historical monograph Southern Workers and the Search for Community focuses on the lives of Southern textile workers in the early 20th century.
The next reading, on Wednesday, Oct. 22, will feature Philip Memmer, author of two books of poems and founder of the Downtown Writer's Center at the YMCA of Greater Syracuse, along with Georgia A. Popoff, who teaches poetry in schools and communities in Central New York and across the country.
