Eyes Up Front: Students and Teachers Read

@ The Asian American Writers' Workshop
Thursday, April 15, 2010 @ 7PM

Who says writing is all extracurricular? Tonight teachers, writers, students join together to read from their mixed-bag experiences of schooling. Sarah Shun-lien Bynum reads from her quirky novel-in-stories Ms. Hempel Chronicles, that follows seventh-grade teacher Ms. Hempel through her human struggles with teaching. As Time magazine puts it, “it’s a pleasure to be in her class.” Poets R. Erica Doyle and Bushra Rehman read alongside mentors and mentees from Girls Write Now and students from Teachers & Writers Collaborative. This cross-generational reading will take down some barriers between teachers and students, reminding you of what it was like to walk those hallways between class.
