Annual Student Poetry Reading

Each year the Annual Student Reading gathers the winners of Bucknell's two undergraduate creative writing contests for a formal reading in Bucknell Hall.  The Stadler Center/West Branch Literary Prizes, judged by a recent contributor to West Branch magazine, awards first and second place cash prizes in poetry and prose. The Julia Fonville Smithson Memorial Prize, established in the memory of a Bucknell graduate who died in 1977, awards one prize each in poetry and prose. 

The 2010 Student Reading will take place on Friday, April 16, 6:30 p.m. in Bucknell Hall.  The winners for 2010 will be announced in the spring semester. 

The 2009 Annual Student Reading featured Chrissy Friedlander '09, Hilary Umbreit '11, Margaret Graham '09, Weston Bettner '09, James Elliot '10, Louisa Diodato '09, and Christopher Opiela '09
