David Ray Vance and Anna JourneyBrazos Bookstore hosts a poet who likes to play doctorBy Dusti RhodesPublished on April 22, 2009 at 1:44amPoet David Ray Vance is a fan of Grays Anatomy. (Were talking Henry Gray.) In his poems, such as Further Notes on Legerdemain, Vance plays with optometry and wordsmith-ery in clever and insightful ways. The pupil as muscle must be exercised, he writes. And: As I write, floaters swim in and out of the -periphery. Vance earned his doctorate from the University of Houstons Creative Writing Program and currently has a teaching gig at the University of Texas San Antonio. But we cant help but wonder why a love for medical science and ability to make it through seven years of school didnt compel him to become a doctor; its much better pay. Just sayin
Vance reads with UH creative writing student Anna Journey at 7 p.m. Brazos Bookstore, 2421 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-523-0701 or visit www.brazosbookstore.com. Free.
