"With a stellar faculty lineup and over 90 dedicated workshop participants who are ready to take their work to the next level, we are looking at an electric week full of creative possibilities," Betsy Wheeler, director of the Juniper Summer Writing Institute at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, says in a press release.
The institute runs from June 12-15, with sessions in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, as well as manuscript consultation with guest writers.
On hand will be Cleyvis Natera, author of Neruda on the Park; Diana Khoi Nguyen, author of Ghost of Ghost; and CAConrad and Leni ZumasCAConrad, who've worked with "the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975," per the press release.
The public is invited to attend each reading, which runs from 6:30pm to 8:30pm each night.
Tickets are free, and can be purchased through Amherst Books.
