Poet Ryan Teitman will read from his work on Monday at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
The 7:30 p.m. reading will take place in the Mukaiyama University Room in the Frame-Westerberg Commons.
Teitman was born in Philadelphia and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Penn State before working as a newspaper reporter in and around Philadelphia. Later he earned a Master of Fine Arts and Master of Arts from Indiana University.
Teitman has been tapped for a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, the Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University and a MacDowell Colony Fellowship.
His work has appeared in Gulf Coast, the Southern Review and The Threepenny Review, and his reviews have been published in The Rumpus, The Millions and The Kenyon Review Online.
He is the author of “Litany for the City,” a collection of poems inspired by his experience living in Philadelphia.
Currently, he is a senior writer in the office of development and alumni relations marketing and communications at the University of Pennsylvania.
The reading is free and open to the public and will be followed by a reception. Teitman’s visit is made possible by the Pitt-Bradford Spectrum Arts Series.
