What a fantastic reading that alum Jessica Turcat gave at Missouri State University this past Thursday! So glad to have her revisit her stomping grounds and blow everyone away with the excellent work from her new book, Hunger House. Exciting to see her admiration for her prof, Marcus Cafagña, and to see them reconnect!

Even sponsored by the Missouri State Reynolds College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities and the Missouri State University English Department.
