Visiting Writers Series: A Reading with Deesha Philyaw
April 10 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Event Navigation
Award-winning writer Deesha Philyaw will be in the Blue Ridge Room from 7-8:30 p.m. on April 10 for a reading and book signing.
Deesha Philyaw is the author of the debut award-winning short story collection “The Secret Lives of Church Ladies.”
Her next two books include her highly anticipated debut novel “The True Confessions of First Lady Freeman,” and her second collection “Girl, Look,” a “poignant new collection, giving a vivid snapshot of the interior lives of Black women across generations, drawing readers to consider Black women and girls’ vulnerabilities, invisibility, and beautiful contradictions, in a post-COVID, post-Breonna Taylor world.”
Cohosted with Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe, this event is part of the English Department’s Visiting Writers Series, which features two guest readers each semester.
