Hope Visiting Writer's Series: Tony D'Souza, Fiction, & Mark Yakich, Poetry
Tuesday, March 11, 2008, 7:00 PM
Tony D’Souza’s critically acclaimed debut novel Whiteman won both the Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the 2007 GLCA New Writers Award for Fiction. Whiteman episodically tells the story of a young American relief worker living in a Muslim Ivory Coast village. Salon reviewer Laura Miller observes that “each little tale nestled in [the] novel has an intoxicating, fireside charm. Some of the tales are sad, or spooky or bawdy, but all of them seamlessly combine the ancient allure of folklore with a modern, Western literary elegance.” D’Souza spent three years in the Peace Corps in West Africa working as a rural AIDS educator.
Mark Yakich’s debut book of poems, Unrelated Individuals Forming a Group Waiting to Cross, was a winner of the 2003 National Poetry
Series, and is full, according to poet James Galvin, of “journeys, crossings, and departures—all evocative of the loneliness, alienation, and desire for identity with another.” Yakich’s award-winning follow-up book, The Making of Collateral Beauty, is called “both companion to and descendant of” his first book because each new poem shares a title with a poem from the first book. Yakich has worked in the European Parliament and has degrees in political science, West European studies, and poetry.
All Visiting Writers Series readings are free and open to the public.
Readings are held at the Knickerbocker Theatre, 86 East 8th Street, downtown Holland, unless otherwise noted.
Jazz begins at 6:30 p.m.; reading begins at 7:00 p.m.
This event is organized by: Hope College English Dept.
