GREENSBORO, NC – Stop by UNCG Thursday, Nov. 20, to witness the power of words.
Local writers, including novelist Michael Parker and former N.C. Poet Laureate Fred Chappell, will take part in the 14th annual Will Read for Food benefit. Writers read to support Greensboro charities such as soup kitchens, child-care centers and foster homes.
Will Read for Food runs from 7-9 p.m. in the Weatherspoon Art Museum Auditorium. Enjoy free appetizers and live music from 6-7 p.m.
Will Read for Food, started by UNCG English professor Hope Hodgkins, began in 1994 as Writer’s Harvest. Since 1995, the benefit has been run by novelist and short story writer Michael Parker and has featured faculty from the MFA Writing Program at UNCG as well as other authors from across the Triad. Participants this year will also include Stuart Dischell, Jennifer Grotz, Craig Nova, Allison Seay, Mark Smith-Soto and Lee Zacharias.
Suggested donation is $5 students and $10 nonstudents.
