Kingston, RI
Sponsored by the University of Rhode Island, the Ocean State Summer Writing Conference is held on the lovely Kingston campus, minutes away from beaches and the popular destinations of Newport and Narragansett. This year’s conference welcomes Tomaz Salamun, the most important living Central European poet; Jennifer Egan, the 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner in fiction; and National Book Award winner Robert Stone. Participate in workshops, publishing sessions, and craft seminars with poets Kathy Aguero and Darcie Dennigan, among others—and celebrate the launch of The Ocean State Review, a new literary journal.
