IWP/Writers’ Workshop Joint Reading

Sandra Barkan hosts the reading and introduces Rowena Torrevillas, who in turn introduces each of the readers. Mitch Cohen and Darrach Dolan, both Writers’ Workshop students, each read a short story. Ramona Ciupag, a writer in residence at the IWP, reads a selection of her poems. Luljeta Lleshanaku, another writer in residence at the IWP, reads one of her poems in Albanian and then a translator, Professor Thomas, reads the rest of her poems in English. The tape ends while the translator is still reading.
