Join colleagues, generations of writers, and former students in honoring the life and legacy of late professor Michael Madonick, author of Bulrushes and Waking the Deaf Dog.
Madonick's dream to retire to the tune of a roast and reading was cut down by circumstance, so we're going to have to give it to him in death. Various former students will tell their favorite jokes at the expense of the bottomlessly generous poet, educator, and friend we'll never be able to forget (try as we might).
These events come on the tail of a Carr alumni reading by James Lowell Brunton, Jessie Ann Foley, and Jess Williard. Our hope is to create a few days to reflect on the impact Madonick and Creative Writing at Illinois has had on so many of us over the years. So please come talk shop and memories with poets, writers, friends, and enemies if you can. Because, after all, "...there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle."
John Dudek is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
