"The Division of Modern Language and Literature Alumni Author Series showcases alums from the division who have published books of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and more or who have had shorter works published in prestigious national and international journals," said Dr. Mary Alice Trent, chair, Division of Modern Language and Literature. "At these events, authors read from their original published works, talk about their writing craft, share tips about the publishing industry and entertain questions from audience."
