English Department Get Lit Reading Series
Once each semester, the Get Lit Reading Series features a reading or talk by a creative writer - a poet, playwright, novelist, or nonfiction writer - from the New York City area. This is sponsored by the Literary Studies and Creative Writing concentrations in Liberal Arts. We raffle off to students ten copies of that author’s newest book, or books by our own faculty, provided by the Student Union & Intercultural Center.
