The Mark Webster Reading Series presents emerging writers in a warm and relaxed setting. MFA second-year students in fiction and poetry, each introduced by a peer, will share a sample of their work. Friends, family, and members of the Ann Arbor community are welcome to attend the readings both in-person and synchronously on Zoom.
Originally from one of the longest islands abutting New York City, Mark Bryk has studied Talmud in Israel, electrical engineering at the Cooper Union, and taught English in Vietnam before wending his way to Ann Arbor.
