NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Bleasby Colloquium continues with alumna author Diana Joseph Wednesday, March 31, at 7 p.m. in the McKelvey Campus Center Berlin Student Lounge.
Joseph will read selections from her book, "Happy or Otherwise," which is a collection of short fictional stories published by the Carnegie Mellon University Press.Â
She is a native of New Castle, and received her undergraduate degree from ¾¨Ó㴫ý in 1992. Currently, Joseph teaches creative writing at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colo.
"Diana Joseph's debut collection is a mix of captivating voices. These are characters readers will love, hate, admire, and despise," writes Gordon Weaver, author of "Long Odds."
This colloquium is the second in a series of five scheduled for the George Bleasby Colloquia, a series of literary events in honor of Dr. Bleasby, who chaired the Department of English at ¾¨Ó㴫ý from 1954-75.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. David Swerdlow, professor of English at ¾¨Ó㴫ý and coordinator of the event, at (724) 946-7345 or e-mail dswerdlw@westmisnter.edu.
