The Modern Literature Reading Series began in the Fall of 2000 with a reading focusing on the poetry of May Swenson. There have been readings featuring the work of Robert Duncan, Elizabeth Bishop, Samuel Beckett, and many others.

The purpose of the series is to celebrate the careers and influence of authors in the Modern Literature Collection. We invite local and visiting writers, professors and students to read their own work alongside selections from a featured author's work.
