More About
Writer David MacLean goes back to childhood for his contribution to this month’s Gulf Coast Reading Series. “The story that I’m reading is about kids at a pool during the summer, and the awful hierarchy that results, and the narrator’s failed attempt to be the king badass of the pool,” says MacLean, a Ph.D. candidate in the University of Houston’s Creative Writing Program, co-founder of Poison Girl’s Poison Pen Reading Series and Fulbright Scholar — just to name a few of his credits. “I like matching kids with ugliness because it defeats a lot of our polite, Anne Geddes ways that we think about childhood. I like humiliation as a subject and a muse.” Hear MacLean expose childhood for the bastard it is when he reads after UH poets Kathy Elliott and Kasten Cook Glover today at 7 p.m. Brazos Bookstore, 2421 Bissonnet.
