An Evening with Ocean Vuong

Register

MacArthur Grant Fellow, Ocean Vuong, will visit USF for a conversation and Q&A about his writing process, influences, and themes behind his groundbreaking debut novel and poetry.

Ocean Vuong is an award-winning poet and the author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, a work hailed as an “expansive and introspective, fragmented and dreamlike…coming of age tale” by the Los Angeles Times. Adored by the literary community and college campuses alike, Vuong’s talks are thoughtful and engaging discussions on his equally brilliant works. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Vuong was raised in Hartford, CT and now lives in Northampton, MA, where he serves as an Assistant Professor in the MFA Program for Poets and Writers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

This event is free and open to the public. For questions or accommodations, contact Jade V. at jvonwerder@usf.edu. For more information on the speaker, please visit www.prhspeakers.com.
