Fault Line Series continues

The Fault Line Reading Series presents The Arts and Letters Night, featuring readings from Wayne Thomas, Michelle Evans, Megan Moore and Minal Singh.

This event will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 8:30 p.m. in the Cellar Coffee House. All of these students work in the Arts and Letters Office, as well as participate in the production of Arts and Letters.

Brandy Bell and Candace Cooper, coordinators of the Fault Line Reading Series, and Kellie Wells, advisor of the Fault Line Reading Series, decided to have The Art & Letters Night because they felt that the students who work on this journal deserve some special recognition.

“Here are four students whose works are truly wonderful, and through their dedication to the creative writing program, they’ve earned the opportunity to work on a professional and prestigious literary journal.,” Bell said.

Moore who is currently working on her Masters of Arts in English and is a second year graduate student, will be reading a selection of poetry.

“I read during college readings at Brenau University and at past Fault Line readings,” said Moore. “I want people to gain a new perspective from my readings.”

Evans (Shel) is a graduate student in English with a Creative Thesis. She will be reading some of her own works.

“Shel is also one of the hardest working poets I know. She can take a poem and write out every drop of meaning possible. She pushes language as far as it will go, and her use of imagery is often amazing,” said Bell. “Since I’ve been here, Shel has impressed me with her consistency. I love her poetry.”

Thomas is working on his Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. He will be reading scenes from plays and possibly one poem.

“Wayne is the only guy reading that night and probably the only person who will read drama. Wayne is considered one of the more talented writers in the program. His play ‘CAFE VERNON’ was produced by the GC&SU theater department,” said Bell.

Singh is also a graduate student working on a Master of Fine Arts in poetry. She will be reading poetry.

“I just want the audience to be entertained by my reading,” said Singh.

This reading is free and open to the public.

“I encourage everyone to come to the readings and support your local poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and drama,” said Evans. “The coffee’s good, but the talent’s better.”
