Our monthly series that pairs authors to read and discuss their work with each other and the audience, “Comma”, will be the occasion for a presentation by Oregon authors George Estreich and Matt Yurdana. George Esstreich received a B.A. from the University of Virginia and an M.F.A. in poetry from Cornell. His book The Shape of the Eye recently won the 2012 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. Matt Yurdana’s poems have appeared in a variety of journals. Among his awards are an NEA Fellowship, a Pushcart Prize, the Richard Hugo Memorial Scholarship and the Academy of American Poets Award from the University of Montana. His book of poems, Public Gestures, was published in 2005 by the University of Tampa Press.
