The reading will be combined with music by a student from the Yale School of Music. The event will take place from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 19.

In 1995, he was the recipient of the Arnold Bittleman Memorial Prize for painting and upon graduating from the Yale School of Art, he was awarded the Alice Kimball English Traveling Fellowship, which allowed him to travel extensively in the Middle East, an experience that greatly influenced the subject matter of his painting.
