We invite you to join us!įor more information about future events, or to schedule a reading, please contact Jeannine Pitas at 2016ĭale Easley, Rob Gomoll, Becky Canovan, Alice Oleson, and Matt Muilenburg This exchange, so often potent and opening, is what we are excited to offer our students and the Dubuque community by hosting this reading series.Įach semester, emerging and established contemporary writers come to campus to share their work and discuss their professional and creative processes. The writer becomes real to us, and we, to her/him. What readings offer, then, is another wonderful dimension in which we’re able to engage with the writer as s/he literally gives voice to her/his landscape- the solitary experience becomes a shared, communal one. Often, this exchange is a solitary act between those two entities, separated by time, space, and circumstance. We believe that the literary arts offer an opportunity for exchange between the internal landscapes of the author and the reader.
