The evening begins with a meal of soups and breads at 6:00pm, followed by a 7:00pm reading of poetry and fiction by students and faculty from the creative writing program.

Chuck Emery will also be on hand to provide music.

A recommended donation of $5.00 is requested at the door. All proceeds will go to the APSU campus food bank to help students and staff members in need.

Readers for this year’s event will be Barry Kitterman, Conor Scruton, Chaseton Donahoe, Sarah L. Key, Ericka Suhl and Elizabeth Upshur.

Members and friends of the APSU Department of Languages and Literature who wish to provide pots of soup or loaves of bread may do so before 6:00pm the evening of the event.
