WRITERS AT MUHLENBERG PRESENT

This fall, the English Department, in conjunction with Writers at Muhlenberg, are offering the 3rd Living Writers Series. This is a team-taught course (by Linda Miller and Alec Marsh), focusing on the work of six or seven well-known writers (of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry) who visit Muhlenberg to discuss their work, meet with students, and give a public reading. The class meets as one group on a weekly basis, either for a lecture or for a presentation by one of the visiting writers, and again in sections for discussions of each writer's work. Writers who have participated in this course include Robert Pinsky, Carolyn Forché, Paul Muldoon, Frederick Busch, David Bradley, Alice Fulton, Jay Wright, and Francine Prose.

Readings are held at on Monday evenings at 7:00 in the Recital Hall (in the Baker Center of the Arts -- see Campus Map) and are free admission to the public.
