Alexander Books of Lafayette, a wonderful bookshop that sells mostly used but some new books and includes a number of adorable cats, continues its Stories Matter reading series tonight. The live reading event features short story writer and Ph.D. student of creative writing Joe Worthen, poet Carol Rice and yours truly, Chere Coen (although I'll be reading works from books under my pen name of Cherie Claire.) In addition to the spoken word, there will be wine, good conversation, book browsing and cats.Carol Rice has been writing poetry for many years and is the author of a book of poetry. She participates in Lafayette's Word Crawl, a fundraiser for Festival of Words, and participates in the festival and Lyrically Inclined, both spoken word and poetry festivals.
Joe Worthen hold a masters degree of creative writing from the University of North Carolina Worthington and is currently studying for his Ph.D. at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. His work has appeared in NOO Journal, The Master's Review, Hobart, Wag's Revue, Bodega and others.
Chere Coen (that's me) is the author of this blog plus five non-fiction titles and numerous novels under the pen name of Cherie Claire. I have a journalism degree from LSU and work as a freelance food and travel writer.
