Loudermilk, by Lucy Ives

Writers’ Workshop graduate Lucy Ives will read from Loudermilk. "Ives' satirical masterpiece follows poet Troy Augustus Loudermilk, a shallow Adonis recently admitted to the nation’s premiere creative-writing graduate program, located in the heart of America’s starchy middle . . . Laugh-out-loud funny and rife with keen cultural observations, Ives’ tale is a gloriously satisfying critique of education and creativity." ––Booklist (starred review)

Lucy Ives is the author of the novel Impossible Views of the World, several poetry collections including The Hermit and Orange Roses, and the novella nineties. Her writing has appeared in Art in America, Artforum, the Baffler, frieze, Granta, Lapham’s Quarterly, Vogue, and at newyorker.com. She holds a Ph.D. in comparative literature from NYU, and currently teaches in the MFA program at Ithaca College, as well as at NYU’s XE: Experimental Humanities & Social Engagement Master's program.
