Each year, we bring an incredible group of diverse writers and thinkers to Marylhurst University, as part of the Marylhurst Reading Series. Past authors include Chloe Caldwell, Darcie Dennigan, Matthew Dickman, Matt Hart, Darius Kazemi, Dorothea Lasky, Sarah Manguso and Karen Russell. These writers share their love of language and unique insights into contemporary culture. All readings are free.

Our featured authors and poets for the 2017-18 season are: Chuck Caruso, Martha Grover, Shane McCrae, Brandon Shimoda and Stacey Tran.

The Marylhurst Reading Series, established in 2010 with support from the Thomas Binford Endowment Fund, is hosted by Marylhurst’s English Literature & Writing degree program.
