Poetry Reading with Quan Barry

Born in Saigon and raised on Boston’s northshore, Quan Barry is the Lorraine Hansberry Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Barry is the author of eight books of fiction and poetry, including the novel We Ride Upon Sticks, which O: Oprah Magazine describes as, “Spellbinding, wickedly fun” and which was awarded the 2021 American Library Association’s Alex Award. Her first play production, The Mytilenean Debate, was staged in the spring of 2022. Set in Antarctica, Barry’s fourth novel, The Unveiling, will be published in the fall of 2025.
