Andrea Abi-Karam & Emme Lund: A Mills Alum Reading

Presented by the Place for Writers through the Creative Writing and Literature program at Mills College. 

This online event is free and open to the public.
Registration required. Broadcast link will be provided on the day of the event.

Join us as we hear from two of our Mills MFA Creative Writing alums read from their most recent work.

Andrea Abi-Karam is a trans, arab-american punk poet-performer cyborg. They are the author of EXTRATRANSMISSION and with Kay Gabriel, they co-edited We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics. Their second book, Villainy, reimagines militant collectivity in the wake of the Ghost Ship Fire and the Muslim Ban. They are a leo obsessed with queer terror and convertibles. 

Emme Lund is an author living and writing in Portland, Oregon. She has an MFA from Mills College. Her work has appeared in Electric Literature, Time, The Rumpus, Paper Darts, and many more. In 2019, she was awarded an Oregon Literary Arts Fellowship in Fiction. The Boy with a Bird in His Chest is her first novel.
