Roxane fronts a small army of avid fans on social media and when she finds the time, she dominates the occasional Scrabble tournament. She recently became the first black woman to ever write for Marvel, writing a comic series in the Black Panther universe called World of Wakanda. Her writing has also appeared in McSweeney's, The Nation and many other publications. Roxane is a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times, was the co-editor of PANK, and formerly was the non-fiction editor at The Rumpus. In 2017, Roxane released her highly anticipated memoir, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, as well as a collection of short stories titled Difficult Women. NPR named it one of the best books of the year and SALON declared the book “trailblazing.” Her powerful debut novel, An Untamed State, was long listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. Her collection of essays, Bad Feminist, is universally considered the quintessential exploration of modern feminism. Words like “courage,” “humor,” and “smart” are frequently deployed when describing Roxane. With a deft eye on modern culture, she brilliantly critiques its ebb and flow with both wit and ferocity. Her work garners international acclaim for its reflective, no-holds-barred exploration of feminism and social criticism. Roxane Gay is an author, cultural critic, and University of Nebraska–Lincoln English alumna whose writing is unmatched and widely revered. Every year program hosts readings and discussions by acclaimed poets, novelists, and memoirists as part of its Creative Writing Month celebration, National Poetry Month festivities, and the new Reading Series (which kicks off in fall 2018 with Roxane Gay's visit).
