2008 Spring Literary Festival
Since 1986, The Spring Literary Festival has featured some of the world's finest, most distinguished writers of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The three-day festival is held in May on the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio. It is sponsored by the Program in Creative Writing of the Department of English and is generously funded by the College of Arts and Sciences. All readings and lectures are free and open to the public.
The five visiting writers* will be present throughout the festival, lecturing and reading from their work. Books by the authors will be available for purchase after each program.
*As a special note, Edwidge Danticat will not be able to make it to this year's Literary Festival. Michael Griffith will be presenting in her place.
