Sean Lovelace

On November 11 at 7:30pm Sean Lovelace was reading from his new chapbook, How Some People Like Their Eggs.. When I heard about this I thought it would be intreasting to attend because I did not get to attend when Ishmael Beah came to Ball State. But the first question I asked myself is, "who is Sean Lovelace?". After doing a little research I fought out, Sean Lovelace is an English professor at Ball State University. His publications include Tartts: Incisive Fiction from Emerging Writers, Grass: A Fiction Chapbook, and stories and essays in various literary journals, including New Orleans Review, Crazyhorse, Black Warrior Review, and Sycamore Review. His latest book is How Some People Like Their Eggs, and was the winner of the Third Annual Rose Metal Press Short Short Chapbook Contest. Not only is Sean a talented writer but also a great runner, and always seems to be pushing himself to go that extra mile.
Right before entering room 125 on Wednesday evening there was a table of refreshments, which included punch, Starbucks coffee, and cookies. As I walked in I noticed it was a full house but lucky I was able to find a seat near the back. Jill Christman is the director of creative writing, and told us about the upcoming reading/writing competition. Next she tells us how she first met Sean Lovelace, and gives a warm welcome as Sean walks up to the podium. I stopped to look around the room, there was a camera man, and two photographer. As Sean reads from his book he had everyone at the edge of our seat, we all felt as if we were a part of the story. All of his story's were every funny and had us all laughing. He is a very talented person, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to listen to him read parts of his masterpiece.
