Graduate Reading Series

The University of Memphis Kicks Off Its Spring Graduate Reading Series with Dianne Malone and Torie Sanford-Finch THIS Thursday at Otherlands Coffee Bar at 6:30 (sharp!).

DiAnne Malone wants hair just like Star Wars' Princess Leia. She truly believes that the secret to writing good creative nonfiction is wrapped up in those spirals and braids somewhere. Otherwise, she spends Friday nights watching 4400 reruns and VeggieTale videos with her family of boys: Myals 7, Quincy 3, and Big Poppa, Isaac 37.


Torie Sanford-Finch is a native Memphian. As an undergrad she chose computer engineering, despite years of study and involvement in performing arts. Five majors later, she found happiness as a photography student. The habit of turning projects into journalistic pieces led her to make a final change. She earned her BA in English from the University of Memphis. Torie is a photographer and currently working on a short story collection despite living with three guys and a dog. (Larry, 30; Khalil, 12; Truth, 6 and Happy 1).
