The Writing Now, Reading Now series is closed, due to COVID-19, until further notice.


The MFA Program at Wichita State curates the Writing Now, Reading Now Series that brings celebrated poets and writers from around the country to read in the beautiful space of the Ulrich Museum. All readings are preceded by a reception with hors d'oeuvres and wine, and all readings are free and open to the public. Recent readings have been given by Jericho Brown, Mary Ruefle, Ilya Kaminsky, Samantha Lee Chang, Lee Johnson, Andrew Sean Greer, and many others.
