Enjoy poetry and prose from alumni of George Mason University’s Creative Writing M.F.A. Program. Lucy Biederman is the author of The Walmart Book of the Dead, a “darkly comic incantation on the gods and scourges of the 21st century” inspired by the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. John Copenhaver’s novel Dodging and Burning is a mystery set in a small Virginia town reeling from World War II, when a violent crime shook their community. Joe Hall is the author of several collections of poetry, including his latest, Someone’s Utopia, which blends utopia and dystopia as it paints the “(un)making of the familiar world… and unmask[s] the invisible material and ideological labor that prepares the world for us.” Alyse Knorr’s Mega-City Redux uses modern day feminist heroes like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xena Warrior Princess to search for the mythical city of Christine de Pizan, the world’s first professional female writer. Elegy and love meet on the wild landscape of Alaska in Kate Partridge’s collection Ends of the Earth: Poems. Partridge cycles between autobiography, mythic allusion, and the literary archive in this debut.
