The Creative Writing Program at the University of Notre Dame is pleased to announce that the second annual Ernest Sandeen Memorial Reading will be delivered by Claudia Rankine.
This biannual literary event commemorates our esteemed colleague, the poet, scholar and teacher, Ernest Sandeen. A distinguished senior poet is invited to give the reading and selects a younger poet to read alongside him or her, thus honoring both Ernest Sandeen’s accomplishment as a poet and his many decades of mentorship at the University of Notre Dame. In this spirit, Claudia Rankine has selected the poet Solmaz Sharif to join her for this reading.
All are welcome. More information may be found here.
The second annual Ernest Sandeen Memorial Reading is funded by the Ernest Sandeen Endowment and the Sturtevant Fund and is co-sponsored by the Creative Writing Program, the Department of English, the Office of the Provost’s Distinguished Women Lecturers Fund, American Studies, Multicultural Student Programs and Services, Letras Latinas, Institute for Latino Studies, Gender Studies, First Year of Studies, Africana Studies, the Department of Art, Art History and Design, and the Center for Social Concerns.
