As we ease into summer break let's check in with the Boise State University MFA Reading Series and their spectacular spring roster of readings. This past fall's lineup of Peter Gizzi, Dan Beachy-Quick, Srikanth Reddy, and Alice Notley was quite formidable and this semester kept up the pace with five events held between February and April.
First up on February 16th was Christina Piña, who was introduced by Martin Corless-Smith. CAConrad followed on March 8th, with an introduction by Trey Hayden — one of two March readings, along with Jennifer Moxley (who was introduced by Savy Butler) on March 29th. Finally, the program hosted two events during National Poetry Month: Endi Bogue Hardigan and Rob Schlegel (introduced by Caleb Merritt and Christofer Arbudzinsky, respectively) on April 5th, and Ian Dreiblatt on April 12th (with introduction by Adam Ray Wagner).
