The Coffee House Event Series is an extension of the The Coffee House Writers Project. This series aims to “continue the project as a series of virtual readings and conversations in which members of the literary community reflect on what it means to be writing, reading, and working (or not) in this cultural moment.” — Coffee House Press

Place matters and plays an indelible role in the way we perceive and come to understand each other and the world around us. Crystal S.

As the editor of Split Rock Review and poetry anthologies, she will offer writing/publishing advice and what she looks for in submissions. A short Q&A will follow.

Location: Lawrence University Warch Campus Center in the Nathan Marsh Pusey Room.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information about this event, visit Fox Cities Book Festival.
