Dr. McCabe is the author of nine books, most recently the memoir Can This Marriage Be Saved?

Her work has appeared in Newsweek, Salon, Fourth Genre, Prairie Schooner, Massachusetts Review, Gulf Coast, Writer's Digest, LARB, and more and has made Salon’s Best of 2021 list. She has earned a Pushcart Prize, two awards from Prairie Schooner, and an Individual Artist’s Fellowship in Literature from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Her work has repeatedly been selected for inclusion in the annual Best American anthologies series, including eight times for Best American Essays and once for Best American Non-Required Reading. She directs the creative and professional writing program at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided. This event is free and open to the public.

The Emanuel Fried Drop Hammer Student Reading Series is a tribute to the legacy of our late colleague Emanual “Manny” Fried and his famous play Drop Hammer.
