Vivian S. Delbrook Visiting Writers Series

In addition to workshops with our resident and rotating faculty, students learn from the writers who visit campus each year as part of the Vivian Delbrook Visiting Writers Series. Since its founding in 1989, the Delbrook VWS has brought a wide variety of internationally and nationally recognized writers to Butler, from Nobel- and Pulitzer-prize winning poets and novelists to important emerging literary artists: Toni Morrison, Nadine Gordimer, Allen Ginsburg, E.L. Doctorow, Dave Eggers, Art Spiegelman, Mary Karr, Seamus Heaney, and hundreds more. Read more about this series.

For 2012-2013, the Visiting Writers Series is pleased to host Margaret Atwood, Robert Pinsky, Jennifer Egan, Patricia Smith and Julianna Baggot, among others. Learn more about the spring 2013 speakers.
