The River Readings at Augustana

The River Readings at Augustana brings at least five literary artists to campus each year from around the country and beyond. These writers of poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction meet with students in class or other venues to discuss their work and careers, and present a reading open to the public.

Videos of the River Readings are archived on the Speakers page.
