Webster Reading Series Featuring Zell MFA Students

The Webster Reading Series, which remembers the poetry and life of Mark Webster, presents two second-year MFA student readers (one poet and one fiction writer) from the University of Michigan’s Helen Zell Writers’ Program. Each reader is introduced by a fellow poet or fiction writer.

Webster Readings are free and open to the public and are hosted in partnership with the University of Michigan Museum of Art. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear from emerging writers in a warm and relaxed setting.
