Highlights and Events

 

Poetics of the Event event - May 14

 

How might we approach the literary event itself as imaginatively as we do the books, poems, novels, and pamphlets that these events are meant to celebrate? Come explore with publishers, printers, writers, and scholars — you won't want to miss the fashion show!

 

Friday Morning Faculty Writing Sessions

 

Ease into the weekend feeling productive! Join us in the Kaplan Seminar Room (Kresge 2351) on Friday mornings (9am-12pm) to work quietly, but in community, on your own writing project. You make it a habit, and we’ll make the coffee!
