Ron Rash to give reading at TCTC

Award-winning poet and novelist Ron Rash says he is looking forward to connecting with former colleagues and students when he visits Tri-County Technical College on November 6th for a book reading. He says he didn’t hesitate to say yes when Interim Arts and Sciences Division Dean Robin McFall called and asked him to return for a reading as part of the College’s Cultural Enrichment Series.  “I am glad to do so.  There are a lot of fine people at Tri-County Technical College,” said Rash, who taught English at the College from 1986 until 2003.  The event will be held from 1:20 – 2:20pm in the Marshall J. Parker Auditorium on the Pendleton Campus.  The event is free and open to the public.  Rash will read from his new book of short stories, Nothing Gold Can Stay, as well as the novel Serena, which has been made into a major motion picture starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence and will be released in April 2014.
