UC Visiting Writers Series returns featuring fiction, poetry
Enjoy public readings from authors and poets through April
The University of Cincinnati’s Creative Writing Program continues its Visiting Writers Series this week, bringing the public and the UC community together with several distinguished authors and poets.
This series takes place every semester at UC, sponsored by the Department of English in UC's College of Arts and Sciences and the Elliston Poetry Room. The spring lineup includes notable authors Gwen E. Kirby, Brenda Peynado, Liv Stratman and Bess Winter.
This literary event includes both fiction and poetry readings as well as a lecture from Brian Teare, the 2023 Elliston Poet-In-Residence. All readings are free and open to the public and can be observed in-person or real-time via Zoom.
“The Visiting Writers Series offers the chance to hear from a diverse and exciting array of contemporary voices," says Jennifer Habel, coordinator of creative writing.
"In addition to listening to these writers read from their work, students can meet them, ask questions and get their books signed. This semester the series also offers informative panels and lectures on topics such as publishing, literary agents, and ecopoetics,” she says.

Growing up on Ludlow Ave. in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Clifton, Harrison Fowler had planned to enroll in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Cincinnati. UC was close to home, and ROTC seemed like the right choice. But life had other plans. At the last minute, Fowler withdrew from ROTC and enrolled to earn his bachelor’s in Spanish, which meant he needed a study-abroad experience to complete his degree. He was apprehensive, but completed his requirement in Madrid, in a move that would change the direction of his life. Says Fowler of his foreign-language major, and his experience abroad: “Speaking another language opens up a whole other world and relationships for you.”
