2008-2009 Events to be announced later this Summer.Contemporary Writers Series
Established in 1997 by Hamilton "Mick" Cochrane, PhD, the Canisius College Contemporary Writers Series brings fiction writers and poets of national stature to the Canisius campus to read from their works and to meet with students, faculty, and members of our community. Visiting writers have included Garrison Keillor, Junot Diaz, Lorrie Moore, Edwidge Danticat, Mary Gordon, Tim O’Brien, Ha Jin, and Gloria Naylor. The series maintains a special focus on writers with strong ties to our area: Buffalo natives Connie Porter and Lucille Clifton, as well as upstate writers such as Pulitzer Prize-winning Richard Russo and William Kennedy have also appeared.
