For September’s reading series, we linked up with faculty from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and are delighted to welcome Joe Holt and Eric Heyne to the Bear Gallery! Both writers not only teach English at UAF, but have published many fiction and non-fiction works in journals all over the country, some of which they will share with their audience during the reading. Join Fairbanks Arts, Joe and Eric for an evening of culture and literary enjoyment in a space of art.   

Meet our September readers:
