Pierre also gave a reading at a community event. English Department graduate program alums who delivered papers at the conference included Dimitri Anastasopolous, Christina Milletti, and Joe Amato. Present were an amazing number of alums of both the undergraduate writing track and the graduate program, including George Kalamaras (who signed books at the book fair) and Akim Cabey, now teaching writing at a college near Chicago. Also there was an exhibitors’ table for the 13th Moon and The Little Magazine at the AWP bookfair during the conference, managed by the 13th Moon‘s community volunteer, Roz Wood, and Lisa Feiman.
