The Department of English at West Virginia University will host a reading by Kelly Moffett on Monday, Oct. 6, at 11 a.m. in 130 Colson Hall.

Kelly Moffett has two books of poetry and one chapbook, a small book of poems. Her third book, “bird blind,” will be released this fall. Her work has appeared in journals such as “Colorado Review,” “Cincinnati Review,” and “Rattle.”

She is an assistant professor at Northern Kentucky University and a graduate of the WVU Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts programs.

“Kelly is one of our most accomplished alumni and we’re looking forward to hearing her read from her books,” said professor Mary Ann Samyn, director of the creative writing program.

“The MFA program has grown so much and we’re proud of the success of all of our grads.”

The reading is free and open to the public. A book signing and reception will follow.
