If you've never visited us, this is the event to attend! We'll gather around a large table at the Literary Arts Bridge, Dartmouth's creative writing center, to share lunch and discuss poetry, writing, and publishing with two astonishing poets. The conversation will be moderated by Dartmouth's own Kate Gibbel, whose forthcoming poetry collection, Little Sound, is out this fall.
