Here's to the coming school year filled with literary events for our ACC student writers and surrounding community writers. Please join us for classes, workshops, readings, festivals, and contests. And consider joining our new Writers Studio Club with last spring's Writers Studio Scholarship winner, Oliver Brainerd, as president. On September 9, we present the Writers Studio Showcase at 4:00 pm in the 2nd floor student lounge with Colorado Book Award winner Kathryn Winograd, Denver Poet Laureate Chris Ransick and history novelist and children's writer Chris Blake as the featured readers. On September 19, we host the Columbine Poetry Festival in the Half Moon from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., featuring poet Veronica Patterson for a workshop on "Lifting the Poem Out of the Ordinary" and reading with Katherine West, Poet/Publisher of Green Fuse Books. RSVP required. Our goal has been to create a writing community within ACC for both students and community members, and, with your help, we're doing it.
