• Steep yourself in a day of writing, listening to, and maybe even performing POETRY. Soak up the poetic goodness of visiting writers Natalie Diaz and Gary Dop, as well as the poetic stylings of USD grad students Jenny Yang Cropp, Sara Henning, and Stephanie Marcellus.

• Write and get feedback in morning & afternoon writing workshops led by Diaz and Dop—no experience needed!

• Revel in fabulous readings by our authors, then catch the spectacle (or participate yourself) of an evening poetry reading & SLAM hosted by Dop.

Visiting writers’ participation is made possible by the South Dakota Humanities Council,  USD Departments of English and Native American Studies, and the Vermillion Literary Project (VLP).
