Reading Series

With generous support of campus-wide units and private donors, the Creative Writing Program hosts an annual reading series featuring writers from across the country. Visitors conduct a colloquium for the Clark Honors College and our Kidd Tutorial Program in addition to giving a public reading.

Readings are held Thursday evenings and are free and open to the public. Book signings follow each event.
