GREENSBORO — Patrick Phillips will read Thursday, Oct. 23.
The MFA Writing Program, The Greensboro Review and Spring Garden Press will sponsor the reading, which begins at 8 p.m. in the Faculty Center on College Avenue. It is free and open to the public; a reception and book signing will follow.
Phillips’ second book, “Boy,” was published by the University of Georgia Press in March 2008. His first collection, “Chattahoochee,” was chosen by Robert Pinsky, Alice Quinn and Robert Wrigley for the 2005 Kate Tufts Discovery Award.
He has received support from Yaddo, MacDowell, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, and was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Copenhagen. He teaches writing and literature at Drew University.
