The Creative Writing program hosts an annual reading series featuring writers from across the country. Visitors conduct a Craft Talk for our undergraduate students in addition to giving a public reading.
Readings are free and open to the public.
While it always our goal to host these events in person, the actual delivery method is subject to the expected conditions at the time of the event. If converted, Zoom registration information will be posted as soon as possible.
Want to receive information about our reading series, as well as faculty and alumni news? Don’t miss out—join our listserv today!
