Static Parade is a reading series hosted by the CU Boulder creative writing MFA students. Every semester, this series introduces writers from our program to the larger Boulder community through our longstanding partnership with Trident Booksellers. Please join us to hear three of our writers of either fiction or poetry share their latest work for about twenty minutes each, with a short intermission.

Andie Weber is a fiction writer from Minnesota. Her writing can be found in Spectrum, New Pop Lit, Litro, and elsewhere. Prior to her MFA candidacy, she worked in corporate IT. At any given moment, you can find her in pursuit of good food, roadside attractions, or a song to play on loop for three days straight and then never listen to again.

Rosaline Nizam is a Bengali trans feminine poet who graduated from Queens College with a BA in english and is currently pursuing an MFA in poetry. Her work is focused on the intersections of queerness and South Asian diaspora. She represents this intersection through confessional poetry.

Marshall Kopacki is an MFA Fiction student and recent graduate of Marquette University with a B.A. in Writing-Intensive English and Theology. He co-founded and instructed creative writing workshops through the Honors program at his alma mater. He gravitates towards literary horror with existential and surrealist themes. In his free time, he appreciates baking, playing with other people’s pets, and going down Wikipedia rabbit holes. Before coming to CU, he managed an escape room.
