She is the former Editor of\u00a0<em>Gulf Coast: a Journal of Literature and Fine Arts<\/em>, her manuscript,\u00a0<em>American Radiance<\/em>, won the 2017 Prairie Schooner Book Prize. Luisa\u2019s previous work has appeared in\u00a0<em>Poetry International, Ninth Letter, West Branch, the Los Angeles Review,\u00a0<\/em>and<em>\u00a0Blackbird<\/em>\u00a0among others.<\/p>\n<p><em>American Radiance,\u00a0<\/em>at turns funny, tragic, and haunting, reflects on the author\u2019s experience immigrating as a child to the United States from Ukraine in 1991.\u00a0What does it mean to be an American? Luisa Muradyan doesn\u2019t try to provide an answer. Instead, the poems in\u00a0<em>American Radiance<\/em>\u00a0look for a home in history, folklore, misery, laughter, language, and Prince\u2019s outstretched hand. Colliding with the grand figures of late \u201880s and early \u201890s pop culture, Muradyan\u2019s imagination pushes the reader forward, confronting the painful loss of identity that assimilation brings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"brazos-bookstore-inprint-luisa-muradyan-reading","image":{"url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Website-Luisa-lmuradyan-1.jpg","id":"26833","extension":"jpg","width":597,"height":400,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Website-Luisa-lmuradyan-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":201,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Website-Luisa-lmuradyan-1-300x201.jpg"},"nav-thumbnail":{"width":75,"height":75,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Website-Luisa-lmuradyan-1-75x75.jpg"},"event-thumbnail":{"width":597,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Website-Luisa-lmuradyan-1-597x400.jpg"},"flex-gallery":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Website-Luisa-lmuradyan-1-300x200.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2018-09-04 19:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"09","day":"04","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2018-09-04 20:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"09","day":"04","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2018-09-05 00:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"09","day":"05","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2018-09-05 01:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"09","day":"05","hour":"01","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":7919,"author":"21","status":"publish","date":"2016-07-18 14:53:18","date_utc":"2016-07-18 19:53:18","modified":"2016-07-18 14:53:18","modified_utc":"2016-07-18 19:53:18","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/venue\/brazos-bookstore\/","venue":"Brazos Bookstore","slug":"brazos-bookstore","address":"2421 Bissonnet Street","city":"Houston","country":"United States","state":"TX","zip":"77006","stateprovince":"TX","geo_lat":29.7252314,"geo_lng":-95.4159635,"json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Brazos Bookstore","description":"","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/venue\/brazos-bookstore\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"2421 Bissonnet Street","addressLocality":"Houston","addressRegion":"TX","postalCode":"77006","addressCountry":"United States"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":29.7252314,"longitude":-95.4159635},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"inprinthouston.org?id=7919","global_id_lineage":["inprinthouston.org?id=7919"]},"organizer":[{"id":2432,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2015-02-03 22:16:05","date_utc":"2015-02-03 22:16:05","modified":"2015-02-03 22:16:05","modified_utc":"2015-02-03 22:16:05","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/organizer\/inprint-2\/","organizer":"Inprint","slug":"inprint-2","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Inprint","description":"","url":"https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/organizer\/inprint-2\/","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"global_id":"inprinthouston.org?id=2432","global_id_lineage":["inprinthouston.org?id=2432"]}],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Brazos Bookstore\/ Inprint Luisa Muradyan Reading","description":"&lt;p&gt;Free and open to the public Luisa Muradyan, recipient of the Inprint Jones Fellowship, Inprint Donald Barthelme Prize in Poetry, and the Inprint Marion Barthelme Gulf Coast Editor\\'s Prize, will read from her new book American Radiance, along with Inprint Prize winner Georgia Pearle.
