Voices: Flyway Home Voices Reading

Campanile Room, Memorial Union
Writers from the MFA Program in Creative Writing & Environment read from their prize-winning work. Creative pieces will be published in a forthcoming issue of Flyway: a Journal of Writing and Environment. Presenters: Andrew Payton, "You're Not Welcome Here," and Tegan Swanson, "Everything Rises on an Atoll." Part of the Symposium on Wildness, Wilderness, and the Creative Imagination.
This lecture was made possible in part by the generosity of F. Wendell Miller, who left his entire estate jointly to Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. Mr. Miller, who died in 1995 at age 97, was born in Altoona, Illinois, grew up in Rockwell City, graduated from Grinnell College and Harvard Law School and practiced law in Des Moines and Chicago before returning to Rockwell City to manage his family's farm holdings and to practice law. His will helped to establish the F. Wendell Miller Trust, the annual earnings on which, in part, helped to support this activity.
