New Writing Series — Kate Bernheimer

Kate Bernheimer is a distinguished author, scholar, and editor celebrated for her groundbreaking contributions to fairy tales. She is the author most recently of the novel Lion’s Den. She grew up in Massachusetts and is a Professor of English at the University of Arizona.

The New Writing Series represents the whole spectrum of possibilities for contemporary writing, including poetry, prose, translation, and new media, with an emphasis on innovative, adventurous, and/or unduly neglected writing. In addition to giving public readings, writers often visit classes or give workshops, providing our students a sophisticated understanding of the contemporary world of creative writing.
