Description:

Join the University of Mississippi’s MFA program at Busboys and Poets for our annual off-site AWP reception. 

We will be featuring MFA faculty member Derrick Harriell (Stripper in Wonderland), former student Anne Corbitt (Rules for Lying), and current student Molly Brown (The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded) doing short readings from their newly released, award winning books. Current faculty, students, and alumni will be present along with representatives of the Yolabusha Review and the Seaside Writers Conference. Come chill with Mississippi’s finest upstairs in The Loft room at Busboys and Poets (5th & K, just a couple blocks from the Convention Center). 

This event is open to all AWP attendees and the general public.
