Nikki Wallschlaeger’s work has been featured in The Nation, Brick, The American Poetry Review, Witness, The Kenyon Review, Poetry, and elsewhere. She is the author of the full-length collections Houses and Crawlspace, as well as the graphic book I Hate Telling You How I Really Feel. She is also the author of an artist book called Operation USA through the Baltimore-based book arts group Container, a project acquired by Woodland Pattern Book Center in Milwaukee. Her third collection, Waterbaby, is out from Copper Canyon Press. This past year, she was a Visiting Associate Professor of Poetry at the Iowa Writer’s Workshop.

The Poets & Writers Series is sponsored by the Temple University MFA Program in Creative Writing, with the assistance of the Richard Moyer Fund and the Department of English. Each year a number of poets and fiction writers are invited to read from and discuss their work to members of both the Temple community and the local Philadelphia arts scene. All events are free and open to the public.
