Description
Join us for an evening with BMI’s fiercely talented PhD Fellows Susana Ferreira, Samuel Gilpin, Robert Ren, Sreshtha Sen, and Wendy Wimmer, hosted by former Clark County Poet Laureate, Vogue Robinson. They will read from new and in-progress works of fiction, poetry, and non-fiction.
Vogue Robinson is Executive Director of Poetry Promise, Inc. and the 2nd person to hold the title of Clark County Poet Laureate (2017-2019). Poetry Promise is a nonprofit which works to expand the knowledge and practice of poetry in Clark County via workshops, featured readings, artist professional development, scholarships, and bringing living writers into classrooms and retirement communities. Vogue's dedication as both laureate and Executive Director has been recognized by Nevada Humanities (Rising Star Award, 2019), Las Vegas Weekly (Best Literary Advocate, 2018), and Desert Companion (Ones to Watch, 2017). When she is not advocating for other writers, she spends time with her family here in Nevada and they are her greatest writing inspiration.
While this event is free and open to the public, a reservation is required. PLEASE NOTE: Free parking for this event is available on the 5th and 6th floors of Cottage Grove Parking Garage starting at 6 pm.
