As part of the Nelson-Boswell Reading Series, La Sociedad para Las Artes will host a public reading by Kelly Krumrie, assistant professor of creative writing at New Mexico State University. She will read from her most recent publication, “No Measure,” which follows two scientists faced with an impossible task.
Krumrie will give her reading at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3 in NMSU’s CMI Theater in Milton Hall, Room 171. A free reception will follow the reading, where copies of “No Measure” will be available for purchase.
In addition to “No Measure,” Krumrie is the author of “Math Class.” Both works are published by the Calamari Archive. Her writing also appears in various journals, anthologies and a column on math and science in art and literature that ran in Tarpaulin Sky Magazine from 2020 to 2022.
Krumrie holds a Ph.D. in English & Literary Arts from the University of Denver. Her critical work investigates the intersection of fiction, poetry and visual art with mathematics and science. She also uses her experience in Montessori education to develop community-engaged and creative writing courses, like the “Writers in the Schools” program she helped launch.
The Nelson-Boswell Reading Series invites visiting writers to NMSU to share their work with the community. La Sociedad para Las Artes is seeking to establish a permanent endowed fund through the NMSU Foundation whose earnings will support creative writing programs, including visiting writers and reading series as well as creative writing workshops for children in Las Cruces Public Schools.
Next in the series, multi-genre writer Oscar Mancinas will read from his novella “Leaving Home” on Oct. 17.
