Middlebury alums Dan O’Brien and J. M. Tyree return to the College having earned acclaim in creative writing since they began sharing their work with one another over thirty years ago as undergraduates. They are currently press-mates: Tyree has recently published his novella, The Haunted Screen with Deep Vellum, and O’Brien has published a memoir, From Scarsdale: A Childhood, and a collection of his plays, True Story: A Trilogy, with Dalkey Archive Press, an imprint of Deep Vellum.

The NER Ulysses Reading Series is a biannual, in-person reading series hosted in Middlebury College’s vibrant and accessible Humanities House (115 Franklin Street). Named after artist James MacDonell’s Visualizing Ulysses series of schematic prints, which hang throughout the house, this series celebrates new work by writers at all stages of their careers. Each of these one-hour readings will spotlight four featured writers, including one Middlebury student.

Fresh poetry, prose, and the voices of Middlebury College students come together in this warm and inviting event. Students from Oratory Now read selections from the New England Review, lending their voices to the work on the page, and student writers read their own poetry and prose for an audience of students, faculty, and community members. Everyone is invited to a dessert reception in the lobby after the show.

Julia Alvarez ‘71, celebrated Dominican-American author of “In the Time of the Butterflies” and longtime Middlebury College writer in residence, unveils her haunting new novel “The Cemetery of Untold Stories” in conversation with Carolyn Kuebler of New England Review. Don’t miss this literary event!
