Join the Creative Writing Department at UNCW November 6-10 for a special series of arts events during Writers' Week 2023. Each year, we invite writers and literary professionals to campus for a week of readings, workshops, and craft talks in both poetry and prose. Events are free and open to the public, with no registration or ticketing required. This year's keynote speaker is Hanif Abdurraqib, an award-winning poet, essayist, and cultural critic. The NEA Big Read program also brings us National Book Award finalist Andrew Krivak, whose works span a wide range of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. We encourage everyone in the UNCW and greater Wilmington community to come out to participate with us in celebration of language, originality, independence of thought, and the indomitable spirit that art brings to life.
