Bennington Writing Seminars, Bennington College, Jan 3-14

Very interesting writing seminar series—with real authors! The list is a bit long to post, I highly recommend that you check out their website for specifics. Below from the Bennington College website.

At the height of each new year the Bennington College campus swells when some of America’s most acclaimed and celebrated writers come together for the Bennington Writing Seminars, one of two 10-day -residencies in its MFA in writing program. Hundreds of budding writers travel cross-country to join a host of award-winning faculty and writers-in-residence that include former U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall.

Faculty and associates offer an evening reading series, free and open to the public, in Bennington College’s Usdan Gallery, VAPA. The readings begin Thursday, January 3, 2008, and will conclude Saturday, January 12, 2008.
