The details

About this event

Join the literary community at Boswell Book Company for an evening of fresh voices from UW-Milwaukee and Marquette University. This event brings together talented undergraduate writers eager to share their stories and poems. It's a rare opportunity to experience the creativity and passion of young authors on the rise.

Boswell Book Company, a beloved local bookstore, provides the perfect backdrop for this intimate reading. The event fosters a supportive atmosphere where you can engage with the writers and perhaps discover your next favorite author. Whether you're a literature enthusiast or just curious, this is an event that promises inspiration and connection.

From the organizer

One of our traditional spring events is back this year - the almost annual UW-Milwaukee and Marquette University Undergraduate Reading. Boswell welcomes writers from the undergraduate creative writing programs of these two area universities to share their work. As we like to say, come and see them read now, so when they publish their novels and become famous authors, you can tell folks that you knew them ‘way back when.'

How it feels

The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.

The room

Library rules. Whispers and a calm body — this is not a talking-out-loud room.
