About the event
Iowa is unique in its high concentration of writers of every stripe: investigative journalists, poets and novelists, spoken word artists, translators, playwrights and children's book authors. This limited seating reading series offers a chance to say "hello" to your neighbor writers, and to hear them read from and talk about their most recently published work, or work in progress. Join us quarterly as the PorchLight team hosts a different beloved "writer next door."
