Detroit Mercy’s English Department welcomes poet K-Ming Chang, who will read for the 2025 Triptych series on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Chang is a Lambda Literary Award winner, a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree and an O. Henry Prize Winner. Chang is the author of the New York Times Book Review Editors’ choice novel Bestiary, which was long-listed for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award and the Otherwise Award. Chang’s books have been translated into Spanish, Chinese, Korean, German, Turkish and other languages.
Chang’s next two books, a horror novel and short story collection, are forthcoming. Chang’s writing is most frequently described as “not for everybody” and occasionally described as “for the freaks.”
Now in its third year, Triptych is a virtual reading series featuring award-winning poets in conversation with Detroit Mercy’s poet-in-residence, Stacy Gnall. Triptych events are held via Zoom on Thursdays from 6:30-8 p.m. Triptych readings are free and open to the community!
