FACULTY READINGS
Join us for an engaging evening of literature and insights at the Faculty Readings from Arkansas State University at the Bradbury Art Museum. Experience the diverse voices and creative talents of our esteemed faculty as they share excerpts from their latest works, spanning genres and disciplines. This event promises a captivating glimpse into the minds of our scholars, fostering a vibrant dialogue about the power of words and storytelling. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the literary community at ASU.
Brought to the community by Arkansas State University’s English Department in collaboration with the Bradbury Art Museum, join us in listening to faculty readings from Arkansas State University’s Department of English, Philosophy, & World Languages. Faculty Readings presented by Arkansas State University faculty:
Bryan L. Moore is a professor of English at A-State, where he teaches American literature and enjoys nothing more than talking to students about lit. He has taught a wide range of other literature courses, including (recently) twentieth-century Continental European fiction, international science fiction, science fiction by women, world horror and gothic literature, and the sophomore level courses Intro to Poetry and Drama and World Literature. He is currently serving as assistant chair of English. A former Director of Composition, he believes Composition is the most important English class. He has published two scholarly books with Palgrave Macmillan on ecology and literature, many articles, reviews, and sundry items. He has published a few short stories, but he mostly writes to amuse himself. Outside family, music is his first love (lately, indy rock and classical). He feels he won life’s lottery when he married Carol, who is a children’s librarian, almost forty years ago (40 next Sep). They have two extraordinary, grown children, Patrick and Sophie. The Moores are owned by four cats, Neko, Purrcy, Libby, and Artie.
Ruth Supko Owens has always dreamed of writing creatively and decided last year that it was finally time to pursue that goal. Though her writing credentials are limited, she has spent her entire adult life educating young people—first as a high school teacher in Virginia, and for the past 27 years as a faculty member at A-State. Her first creative submission, More Like My Mother, was named a finalist in the 2024 Erma Bombeck Writing Competition, providing an affirming boost to her writing aspirations. However, her dual roles as Associate Professor of Spanish and Director of the A-State Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning still demand much of her time and energy. Each day presents a fierce, secret battle between her professional responsibilities and the creative endeavors she’d rather be pursuing. When she’s not working, writing, or thinking about writing, Ruth enjoys reading, playing tennis, biking, traveling, kayaking, and soaking in nature in all its forms.

But that's not all! As a special treat, visitors can receive a complimentary rose in honor of the Day of the Rose and Sant Jordi's legend. Be sure to stop by and celebrate as books, roses, and bookmarks are limited!
Before 1931, April 23 was celebrated as Sant Jordi's Day or the Day of the Rose in Catalonia, honoring Saint George, known as San Jorge in other parts of Spain and Europe.
The tradition traces back to April 23, 303 AD, when a soldier named George was beheaded by the Romans, likely in Greece. Over time, this real event evolved into a legendary tale in Catalonia, where Sant Jordi slayed a dragon to save a princess. From the dragon's blood, a rose bush sprouted, and Sant Jordi gave a rose to the princess. Legend has it that a rose bush still blooms there every April.
By 1456, Sant Jordi was officially named the patron saint of Catalonia, marking the start of the tradition to exchange roses on this day. Interestingly, the first Catalan printed book was published in 1474.
In the 1700s, Sant Jordi's Day waned in popularity due to political changes and the fall of Barcelona. However, by the late 1800s, during the Renaixença cultural revival, the celebration regained its significance and popularity in Catalonia.
