Fran Quinn poetry reading

From the Pal-Item: Indianapolis poet Fran Quinn will give a public reading of his work at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the community room of Whitewater Hall on the Indiana University East campus.

After the reading, Quinn will serve as guest lecturer in an evening creative writing course, "Vision and Revision." The university's division of humanities and fine arts has arranged Quinn's visit, which is not his first. "He has visited us before to speak, read to classes, and teach magazine editing skills to our students," said T.J. Rivard, chairman of the division. "His visit here will give students the opportunity to work with an established writer and to learn more from his experiences in writing, publishing and editing. "... Quinn is a very engaging reader and never fails to surprise and delight his audience," Rivard said. Quinn's poetry collections include "Milk of the Lioness," "The Goblet Crying for Wine" and "A Horse of Blue Ink." For more information, call (765) 973-8229.
