Please join the English Department in welcoming the second visiting writer of the academic year, Kerri ní Dochartaigh. Dochartaigh will join us virtually from Ireland for a reading in Walter Hall Rotunda. She will be joined in person by writer and English Department visiting professor Anna Chotlos. Both writers will read a selection of their work. This program is organized by the Creative Writing Program and the English Department and funded by the College of Arts and Sciences.

Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s first book, Thin Places, was published in Spring 2022 in the US. It was an Indies Introduce selection for Winter/Spring 2022, an Indie Next selection for April 2022, and A Junior Library Guild selection for Spring 2022. Cacophony of Bone is her second book. She lives on the west coast of Ireland with her family.

Anna Chotlos is an essayist and poet from Madison, Wisconsin. She holds an MA from Ohio University and a PhD in creative writing from the University of North Texas, where she served as the editor-in-chief of American Literary Review.
