Each year, the Creative Writing Program welcomes a distinguished poet to teach a Stanford writing seminar to undergraduates. These unique classes are kept small--limited to no more than 15 students--and they focus on a subject of the writer’s expertise and choosing. The writer also holds a public reading and discussion.
For dates, times, and locations of their scheduled readings, visit our Events page. More info on these classes will be available as we approach the winter Quarter. These seminars are made possible with the generous support of Lawrence and Nancy Mohr.
