DC Annual, DAY 5: Live Stage Interview with Nickole Brown

Live readings from popular and up-and-coming authors are hosted at the LIVE! @ your library Reading Stage in the exhibit hall at ALA Annual Conference, presented by the ALA Public Programs Office.

Thanks to generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts, this year's LIVE! Stage featured a special focus on poetry. Readings from many established and emerging poets represent the range of poetry, from rhymes formed on the page, to the rhythms of the spoken work—poems that are sensuous and sensory, witty and wicked, poems that come alive when read by their creators.

Nickole Brown graduated from The Vermont College of Fine Arts and was the editorial assistant for the late Hunter S. Thompson. She has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Kentucky Foundation for Women, and the Kentucky Arts Council. Currently, she is the Editor for the Marie Alexander Series in Prose Poetry at White Pine Press and a National Publicity Consultant for Arktoi Books.  She lives in Louisville where she is Lecturer at the University of Louisville and Bellarmine University and teaches at MFA program in creative writing at Murray State.
