Each year, the Creative Writing Program welcomes two distinguished guests to teach a Stanford writing seminar to undergraduates: one in poetry and the other in fiction. These unique classes are kept small, limited to twelve students, and they focus on a subject of the writer’s expertise and choosing. The writer also holds a public reading and discussion.
This year we welcome Poet Laureate Kay Ryan and author Richard Powers, both in the winter.
Kay Ryan will teach English 192V, The Occasions of Poetry, and Richard Powers will teach English 190V, Reading for Writers: Factitious Fiction, Fictitious Fact.
For dates, times and locations of their scheduled readings, visit our Events Calendar.
