Speaker
Author Patrick Coleman
Topic
Writing Across Genres
Patrick’s first novel, “The Churchgoer” was a LitHub Most Anticipated Book of Summer, released by Harper Perennial in 2019. It is being adapted for FX television to star Matthew McConaughey.
His debut collection of poems, “Fire Season” was written by speaking into a digital audio recorder on long commutes. It won the 2015 Berkshire Prize and was released by Tupelo Press on December 1, 2018.
His short-form prose has appeared in numerous publications.
He is the Assistant Director of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego.
Patrick certainly knows how to write across genres with a high degree of success. We are lucky to have this esteemed teacher and writer share his knowledge with us.
Live meetings take place the first Saturday of every month from 11am to 12:30pm in the Community Room of the Orange Public Library. Visitors are welcome.
