Ian Dreiblatt at Boise State University
April 12, 2024, 7:30 pm
at Hemingway Center – Great Hall

The Creative Writing MFA Reading Series and the Literary Translation club present poet and translator Ian Dreiblatt. He authored “forget thee” (Ugly Duckling Presse), “[a] chilling and tender and radiant collection” (Asiya Wadud). The Los Angeles Review of Books wrote, “Dreiblatt’s poems run on estrangement, ruminating on the present as if from a distant future, reading signs of the current culture as if they were ruins. The poems place us in the teeth of catastrophe, proposing that the 21st-century convulsions of the American body politic signal a disaster worth telling. […] ‘forget thee’ is entirely of its moment.”

Dreiblatt will give a reading at 7:30 PM MDT on Friday, April 12 in The Hemingway Center, followed by a book signing. Free and open to the public, the MFA Reading Series brings renowned writers to the Boise State campus each year.
