A mix of established and emerging poets and writers will make their way to Springfield this month for the UIS Creative Writing and Publishing Series. The series, free and open to the public, kicks off on Thursday at 7pm with a reading from an author whose poetry explores feelings about his own brother's suicide.
Meagan Cass is with the English department at the university and helps organize the series, she joined us for this interview:
NOTE: Katherine Boo's reading and event on Oct. 7th has been canceled.
