Robinson, who publishes under the name Monica McFawn Robinson, will read from her newly published manuscript, “Bright Shards of Someplace Else.” The book is comprised of 11 stories in which Robinson “traces the combustive, hilarious and profound effects that occur when people misread the minds of others.” Readers will be introduced to a wide-range of unique characters ranging from scientists and songwriters to nannies and horse trainers.
Robinson is a writer, playwright and holds an MFA in poetry from Western Michigan University. “Bright Shards of Someplace Else” won the 2013 Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction and has appeared in the Georgia Review, Gettysburg Review, Web Conjunctions, and Missouri Review, among others. Robinson is currently crafting a screenplay and novel.
