Writerly Events in May?

Hello all, I wanted to send something on here, since it’s mainly been posts by Anne, who wants others to post – so here I am, posting! Figured I’d post with something to offer. I happen to be featuring, presenting, or attending some events this month and wondered if folks of the Creative Writing Community of CUNY would be interested in attending.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Come to WOW Cafe Theater 
May 1st : WOW! Wow Cabaret
I’ll be reading a piece of fiction accompanied by slideshow
There will also be burlesque acts, girls on guitars, and some theater.
It’s a queer event. More info on that here:

May 2nd: Birthing Warriors Rivers of Honey Cabaret
I co-produce this monthly cabaret with my wife and she is awesome.
This month we have an amazing line-up.
Here’s the info on our website and the facebook page.

May 3rd: SkillShare at the Brooklyn Public Library
I‘ll be doing an Oral History workshop with Elizabeth Zeeuw & Erik Bobilin, but there will also be a creative writing & self-publishing workshop in the morning by Nicola McDonald.

May 17th: Louis Armstrong Archives Residency Reading
at the Historic Armstrong House in Corona, Queens. I will be reading the work created from the Archives!

May 22nd: In The Life: Outing Lorraine
At the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, I’ll be moderating a panel on the choice for scholars and activists to utilize the lesbian life  of Lorraine Hansberry or other public figures – Is this an imposition?

I’m sure there are loads of things happening in May…
What are you all up to?

Shawn

CUNY Creative Writing Events Calendar

Erika Dreifus posting this one–I’m on staff in the central Office of Academic Affairs (OAA), and I’m also a writer like the rest of you!

Just want to make sure that you all know about the Creative Writing at CUNY mini-site that was built by the central Office of Academic Affairs way back when. One of its features is an Writing Events Calendar that we in OAA try to keep updated (our main source for this is usually the main CUNY events calendar, where all MFA program coordinators/directors are invited to submit campus-based event info). The OAA mini-site is intended to cover creative writing on all CUNY campuses, at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

We’ve recently updated the calendar with a lot of spring goings-on, including the Turnstyle series. We’ll keep updating throughout the semester. Please visit soon & often!
