By Joseph Garcia —

Each semester the creative writing department hosts their Axton Reading Series where poets and authors visit U of L’s campus. The visiting writers share their work at a free public reading followed by a small workshop session the next day with students chosen based on their manuscript applications.

The first reading occurred Sept. 27 in the Bingham Poetry room of Ekstrom. Leah Stewart, professor of creative writing at the University of Cincinnati and author of six novels, was the first of the three writers visiting this fall.
