Carolina Ebeid to Visit UVA as Rea Visiting Writer This

The University of Virginia Creative Writing Program is delighted to welcome Carolina Ebeid as the Rea Visiting Writer in November.

Carolina Ebeid is a multimedia poet. She is the author of Hide (Graywolf Press, 2026), You Ask Me to Talk About the Interior (Noemi Press, 2016) and the chapbook Dauerwunder: a brief record of facts (Albion Books, 2023). Her work has been supported by the Stadler Center for Poetry at Bucknell University, CantoMundo, the NEA, and a residency fellowship from the Lannan Foundation. Her work has been installed and screened at universities and galleries such as Stelo Arts in Portland, and Squeaky Wheel Film and Video Art Center. A longtime editor, she currently edits the multimedia site Visible Binary.

Her current work explores the personal story of her family’s exilic and immigrant experience, the idea of home as an elsewhere, and the telepathic power of objects within the diasporas of Palestine and Cuba.

As the Rea Visiting Writer, Ebeid will spend time with students and faculty and present a public reading and conversation on Grounds. Her visit offers a unique opportunity for the UVA community to engage with an acclaimed contemporary writer whose work bridges artistic practice, cultural inquiry, and literary innovation.

Event details, including date, time, and location, will be announced soon.

We look forward to welcoming Carolina Ebeid to Charlottesville this November.

With gratitude to Elizabeth Rea and the Dungannon Foundation for making the Rea Visiting Writer program possible.
