Latin American Abstract Art Inspires Undergraduate Writers

Nick Micheletti, a classics major who graduated from the College of Arts and Science in December, recently won the Geometry of Hope Creative Writing Prize, a competition co-organized by the Creative Writing Program and Grey Art Gallery. The prize includes $500 for the best poem or short prose piece written by an NYU undergraduate in response to the recent Grey exhibition “The Geometry of Hope: Latin American Abstract Art from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection.” Pictured at right, Micheletti reads in front of Carlos Cruz-Diez’s Physichromie 500.
