The semester is in full swing, and the Efroymson Center for Creative Writing is the place to be for exciting MFA community events. Stay informed of all the readings, discussions, gatherings, and events by liking Butler MFA on Facebook or subscribing to the blog. Don’t forget about these events happening this week.
Monday: MFA Faculty Reading featuring Susan Neville (prose) and David Shumate (poetry) – 9/21st at 4:00 pm.
Hear two favorite MFA professors read and discuss writing at this Writers Harvest event. Don’t forget to bring a box of dried pasta or rice to donate to Second Helpings.
Wednesday: Writing Club, 10:00
Create your habit of uninterrupted writing by joining fellow MFA students and faculty for a timed, focused writing session. The first rule of writing club: No talking at writing club. You do not share or workshop your work. You just write. No RSVP is needed.
Friday: Poetry Lunch Hour, 12:30pm
Whether you’re a Gerald Stern ultra-fan or have never heard of him before, you’re invited to discuss his poetry with Butler community members over lunch. Join us for intelligent conversation and poetic comradery. Lunch will be provided with RSVP 24 hours in advance, and a selection of poems will be emailed so no book purchase is necessary. RSVP to mdunn1@butler.edu. All Butler students, faculty, and staff are invited, along with MFA alumni.
