Stadler Center Writers Series 2011–12

The Stadler Center's annual reading series features writers from across the nation and abroad. Our goal is to present a diverse and aesthetically broad array of writing from both emerging and established writers for the benefit of the Bucknell community and residents of the region. Though our emphasis is on poetry, once or twice each year we also host writers of fiction or literary nonfiction. All events are free and open to the public. Writers are chosen by invitation only; we do not accept requests to read from authors or their agents. (Click on the reader's name for a bio and writing sample.)
