We are thrilled to present one of our most longstanding festival events, our Regional MFA Reading! This event features an exciting lineup of readers from five graduate programs across the Northwest. Each school has sent us one MFA candidate to read their work, and students will be introduced by a creative writing faculty member. We are excited to get to know students and faculty members from these programs—this year we have
Michelle DeLong from Boise State,
James Champion from Oregon State University,
Ardyn Ford from University of Idaho,
Jon Culp from Eastern Oregon University,
Dawn Klinge from Western Colorado University, and
Kirsten Van Zee from our own Eastern Washington University. We hope you’ll join us to hear fiction, nonfiction, and poetry readings from our region’s rising talents!
*This event is virtual and will premiere on our
YouTube channel at the time scheduled above.
