Get literary in Richland!

Edith Wharton and Emily Dickinson in Richland? This week? Yes, thanks to a special reading at the Blue Water Gallery by two local authors.

Katherine Joslin, professor of English at WMU, will read from her new book, Edith Wharton and the Making of Fashion. And Daneen Wardrop, also a professor of English at WMU, will read from her new book, Emily Dickinson and the Labor of Clothing.

This evening of literature and fashion will start with a reception at 6 p.m. in the Blue Water Gallery, 8860 N. 32nd Street, in the Clocktower Green. The readings will begin at 7 p.m. in, appropriately, the classroom of Fabrications.
