Writers in the Library will host poetry readings by Leslie LaChance and Adam Day as part of UT’s Poetry Spring. The public is invited to this free reading at 7 p.m., Monday, April 11, in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library.

Leslie LaChance edits Mixitini Matrix: A Journal of Creative Collaboration. She is an assistant editor with Sundress Publications, where she curates The Wardrobe and is developing a children’s literature list. LaChance’s poems have appeared in numerous literary journals. Her chapbook collection, How She Got That Way, was published in the quartet volume Mend & Hone by Toadlily Press in 2013. A UT alumnus, LaChance is currently an associate professor of English at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, Tennessee, where she teaches writing and literature courses.

Adam Day is the author of A Model of City in Civil War (Sarabande Books, 2015), and he is the recipient of a PSA Chapbook Fellowship for Badger, Apocrypha, and of a PEN Emerging Writers Award. His work has appeared in the Boston Review, Lana Turner, APR, Poetry London, AGNI, The Iowa Review, and elsewhere.
