CORNELIA ST. CAFE GRADUATE POETS SERIES
6:00PM GRADUATE POETS SERIES
Seth Graves and Emily Brandt, hosts
Zakia Henderson-Brown, Queens College; Alissa Fleck, The New School; Gabriel J. Kruis , Hunter; Brian Trimboli, NYU
Join us for this month's installment of The Graduate Poets Series. What is The Graduate Poets Series? Over the course of the season, hosts Seth Graves and Emily Brandt welcome the diverse talent of New York City's MFA community. Once each month, you'll have the chance to see and hear four of the city's most stunning young poets before they start racking up six-figure advances. Hundreds of poets have made their stage debut in this supportive peer environment, discovering their toilers in the field and forming collegial relationships.
Zakia Henderson-Brown was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where she currently lives with her love-bitten cat, Onyx. She is a North Country Institute for Writers of Color fellow; recipient of the Archie D. and Bertha H. Walker full-tuition residency scholarship at the Fine Arts Work Center; co-founder of the Write On! Black Writers Collective; and student of two Cave Canem regional workshops. She has been published in Torch, Reverie, Burner Magazine and the anthologies Why I am Not a Painter and Hair Power/Skin Revolution. A starfruit ripening up in poetry, Zakia is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing and Literary Translation at Queens College and teaching undergraduate English.
Alissa Fleck is a poet from Minneapolis, currently pursuing her MFA at The New School. She has been published in the Argos Books anthology, Why I am Not a Painter, the FutureCycle Press anthology American Society: What Poets See, online at Failbetter.com (forthcoming in February) and Thoughtsmith literary magazines, and elsewhere online and in print.
Currently studying poetry at Hunter College, Gabriel J. Kruis lives in New York City, but calls New Mexico home. His poetry attempts to seat the lyric in the cosmic & illustrate the numinous attributes of science.
Brian Trimboli completed his MFA at New York University and has been awarded fellowships to Bucknell’s Seminar for Younger Poets, and the Catskill Poetry workshop. He also received a fellowship to help lead NYU’s Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan Writers Workshop, and has poems most recently published in The Indiana Review, Gulf Coast, and Third Coast.
$7.00 includes a drink

Congrats Susan Bernofsky on Winning Prestigious Award
Fantastic faculty news: Susan Bernofsky has won a major translation prize! Info below:
Awarded every other year, the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis for 2012 goes to Susan Bernofsky. The jury praised not only her translation of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha, but also her other prose translations from German, calling her work sensitive, with a sure sense of style.
The Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis alternates biannually between a literary journal and a translator of the Nobel Prize-winning Swiss author. This year's cermemony, to be held in Calw on July 2, Hesse's birthday, comes with a 15,000 Euro purse.
Congratulations to Susan!
