Three rising UH writers to read at Gulf Coast event

Latest reading in series sponsored by UH' s literary magazine will be held Friday at Brazos Bookstore

COUGAR LIFE & ARTS SERVICES 

The UH literary magazine, Gulf Coast, will hold its latest installment in its annual reading series Friday. 

Writers slated for the event include Chris Munde, Roberta Harris Short and Brandon Lamson. 

Short is a current Ph.D. candidate at UH and was awarded the Women' s Studies Dissertation Fellowship in response to an excerpt from her second novel. 

She earned her master' s degree in fine arts for creative writing from the University as well. Short' s work has appeared in the Texas Review. 

Lamson, a Maryland native, received his master' s degree from Indiana University and taught creative writing to inmates at Riker' s Island for three years.

Lamson' s work has appeared in a dozen journals, including Hunger Magazine and Akkadian. 

Queens, New York, native Munde was the recipient of the Ayme Eichler Memorial Scholarship. 

U.S. World News & Report ranks the UH Creative Writing Program at No. 2 in the nation. The program is selective and admits only 20 new students every year. 

Gulf Coast has been publishing since 1986, and the competition is heated for authors who want to be included in one of Gulf Coast' s biannual editions. 

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.gulfcoastmag.org.
