Modern Language Association (MLA) Recognizes the Legacy of UNO MFA Poets

MLA Recognizes Legacy of UNO MFA Poets In a city of constant juxtaposition like New Orleans, it can be hard to stand out. From world-class celebrations like Mardi Gras to devastating hurricanes (and freak blizzards) . . .

Join us for a remarkable evening with these two magnificent authors on September 11th.

Check it out, writers!

See you there!

The CWW is back!! Join us for an evening of original work. This week’s reading is Grace Curley’s play, “Your Children Will Follow.” Come here it this Friday in our Robert E. Nims Lab theater !! (This show has free admission.)

Mark those calendars!

Annalia Hopper is a poet, author, and educator from Indianapolis, Indiana whose work appears in the notes app on her phone and the back of a napkin shoved in her purse. She is a second-year fiction student at UNO's CWW. Before moving to New Orleans, Annalia was a teacher and program coordinator for Indy Reads, a nonprofit that provides free, adult education courses to the Indianapolis area. Currently, she is working on a fantasy-horror novel about a female serial killer who hunts down bad guys, flipping the male gaze back on those that would subdue her feminine rage. When Annalia isn't writing, she can be found petting her cat, Nyx, and listening to true crime podcasts for “book research."
