Three writers in the Iowa State MFA Program in Creative Writing and Environment will read from their creative work: Melissa Lamberton, "Tracing the Creek Home;" Nate Pillman, "Fern Canyon;" and Rebekah Beall, "Parkophilia." The participants were selected from a competitive pool of submissions by the staff of Flyway, a journal of writing and environment.

The Symposium on Wildness, Wilderness, and the Creative Imagination is an environmental literary festival featuring readings, poetry performances, panel discussions, documentary films and book signings. All events are free and open to the public - no registration required. For more information, click here.

This lecture was made possible in part by the generosity of F. Wendell Miller, who left his entire estate jointly to Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. Mr. Miller, who died in 1995 at age 97, was born in Altoona, Illinois, grew up in Rockwell City, graduated from Grinnell College and Harvard Law School and practiced law in Des Moines and Chicago before returning to Rockwell City to manage his family's farm holdings and to practice law. His will helped to establish the F. Wendell Miller Trust, the annual earnings on which, in part, helped to support this activity.
