Readings by State-Awarded Writers & Poets

March 1, 2013 Leave a Comment

We are honored to announce the 2013 Commonwealth Reading Series, a series of literary events featuring Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellows/Finalists in prose and poetry.

The readings will take place this April 2013 in venues throughout the Commonwealth, and they’ll feature awardees from our recent grants in Fiction/Creative Nonfiction and Poetry.

Massachusetts has a long, storied (so to speak) history of great literary artists living and working here, and many of them have been honored by our fellowships over the years. This is a chance to experience the work of current and continuing contributors to that lineage.

All events are free and open to the public. Join an event on Facebook.
