Acclaimed writer Maggie Nelson will read her most recent publication, "Pathemata, Or, The Story of My Mouth" and some new work. The Guardian says of Pathemata: “In this thoughtful work, [Nelson] excavates the duties of parenthood and care, bodies and aging, loneliness and mortality…The narrative jumps in time, and the lines between reality, dreams and fiction blur."

On the 20th at 10 a.m. she and Claudia Keelan will discuss the craft of writing. Same location, room 382. Hosted by BMI and the UNLV Creative Writing Programs, with help from a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

It's free. More about her and the event can be found at Get Tickets.
