Raymond Carver Reading Series
The Raymond Carver Reading Series features twelve to fourteen prominent writers yearly as part of a large undergraduate class taught by TAs from the Creative Writing Program. The readings have an extended Question and Answer session along with a reading. The public is welcome to attend. Recent authors include Gary Lutz, Sam Lipsyte, Brigit Pegeen Kelly, Terrance Hayes, C.K. Williams and Lydia Davis. The readings have been recorded and are in the process of being made available online by Bird Library at SUrface:http://surface.syr.edu/carver/
Due to the generous support of Leonard and Elise Elman one distinguished author each year spends a two-day residency as the Richard Elman Visiting Writer.
All readings begin at 5:30 p.m. in Gifford Auditorium, HBC Building (Huntington Beard Crouse), Syracuse University and are preceded by a question and answer session from 3:45-4:30. The public is welcome.
