Kelly Krumrie, assistant professor of creative writing at New Mexico State University, will present a public reading as part of the Nelson-Boswell Reading Series. The event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3 in the CMI Theater at Milton Hall, Room 171 on the NMSU campus.
Krumrie will read from her latest book, “No Measure,” which tells the story of two scientists confronted with an impossible task. Following the reading, attendees are invited to a free reception where copies of “No Measure” will be available for purchase.
In addition to “No Measure,” Krumrie has written “Math Class.” Both books are published by Calamari Archive. Her work also appears in various journals and anthologies, and she contributed a column about math and science in art and literature to Tarpaulin Sky Magazine between 2020 and 2022.
Krumrie holds a Ph.D. in English & Literary Arts from the University of Denver. Her critical research focuses on how fiction, poetry, and visual art intersect with mathematics and science. She draws on her Montessori education background to design community-engaged creative writing courses such as the “Writers in the Schools” program.
The Nelson-Boswell Reading Series brings visiting writers to NMSU to share their work with both students and local residents. La Sociedad para Las Artes is working toward establishing a permanent endowed fund through the NMSU Foundation that would support creative writing programs, including visiting writers events and workshops for children in Las Cruces Public Schools.
The next event in the series features Oscar Mancinas, who will read from his novella “Leaving Home” on Oct. 17.
