The University of Cincinnati’s creative writing program opens its annual Visiting Writers Series with a visit from Hannah Pittard, a Georgia native who is also the author of four novels and is the director of the MFA program in creative writing at the University of Kentucky.
Pittard’s most recent work, 2018’s Visible Empire, is set during the height of the civil rights movement in 1962 and involves a plane crash that kills several members of Atlanta’s high society. Her previous novels include Listen to Me, Reunion and The Fates Will Find Their Way.
Pittard will be joined at 4 p.m. on Feb. 11 by Maria Massie, co-founder of Massie & McQuilkin Literary Agents, for a discussion titled “The Role of the Literary Agent.”
7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10. Free admission. Elliston Poetry Room, 646 Langsam Library, University of Cincinnati, Clifton Heights, artsci.uc.edu.
