Collected Works Bookstore is pleased to partner once again with Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Creative Writing and Literature Department to present a public reading from its final graduating class. These events will feature the seven Creative Writing major seniors graduating in May, 2018.

The writers will share a selection of poetry and prose based on work that will be published in book form in May as part of their Senior Reading course. In this capstone class for Creative Writing majors, students develop a senior creative thesis that demonstrates advanced skills in literary craft, and deliver a public reading of their original creative work.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend to celebrate the hard work and literary accomplishments of this extraordinary group of students.
May 7 readers: Rose Hutson, Danell Horan and Ivy Stover
May 8 readers: Geneva Henri-Le Pierrot, Melissa Dow, Dee Rose and Lauryn Nesbitt
