UMMA is pleased to be the site for the UM Department of English Program in Creative Writing Zell Visiting Writers Series, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from UM alumna Helen Zell (’64).
Darcie Dennigan’s first book, Corinna A-Maying the Apocalypse, won the Poets Out Loud prize and was published by Fordham University Press in 2008. Her poems and other writing have appeared in 180 More: Extraordinary Poems for Every Day, Atlantic Monthly, The Believer, Gulf Coast, The Nation, POOL, and Tin House. She is an associate editor at H_NGM_N, an online journal of poetry, poetics, etc., and a graduate of the Michigan MFA program. The recipient of recent awards from Coldfront Magazine and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, she lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
Tung-Hui Hu is the author of two books of poetry, Mine (Ausable/Copper Canyon, 2007), and The Book of Motion (University of Georgia, 2003). Described as a “contained surreal style that deftly shapes a philosophical argument” (Los Angeles Times), his writing has appeared in The New Republic, Ploughshares, Gastronomica, and Martha Stewart Living Radio. At the University of Michigan, he teaches courses on time-based art and poetry. His latest project is a sound installation titled The Last Time You Cried (lasttimeyoucried.com).
