Do you enjoy reading? Meeting authors? Bookfairs? Open mics? Literally anything to do with the written word? Then come on down to East Quad this Saturday and attend the Voices of the Middle West festival! There will be a bookfair in the main atrium in EQ all day (10am-5pm) and panels with authors, professors, and publishers in the Keene Theater (basement of EQ) from 10am-3:30pm. For a list of the various panels and panel speakers, see here. Then, there will be an open mic from 3:45-4:45pm and finally, the keynote with Ross Gay at 5pm. It is the best literary event to happen on campus all year, so don’t miss out!
And, if all that’s not enough for you, come to the Voices of the Middle West Kickoff Reading at Literati, this Friday at 7pm.
