Nicky Beer’s new book of poems, Real Phonies and Genuine Fakes, will be out from Milkweed Editions on March 8. Publisher’s Weekly called it an, “imaginative and spirited collection.” Pending changing COVID regulations, there will be an in-person launch reading for the book at BookBar (4280 Tennyson St.) on Tuesday, March 8th, at 6 pm. In addition to the reading, Nicky will be discussing her work with English Professor Wayne Miller, the editor of Copper Nickel. You can find more info about the event at BookBar by clicking here.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
