SUMMARY:A Hub\, a Network\, an Archive: 55 Years of International Writers in Iowa City
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, which is open August 22 – December 16\, 2022\, celebrates the 55th anniversary of the International Writing Program (IWP) at the University of Iowa. This program has brought close to 1\,600 writers from more than 150 countries to the UI since 1967\, and this exhibition tells the story of the IWP’s genesis\, its role in cultural diplomacy\, Iowa City as a site of literary praxis and global networking\, and the images of Iowa that writers have carried home with them through their work. Curators Nataša Ďurovičová and Lisa Gardinier dove into Special Collections & Archives materials\, including the Paul Engle Papers\, the International Writing Program Records\, the Toothpaste/Coffee House Press Records\, and more while researching for the exhibition. Also included are items from the UI Libraries circulating collection\, IWP’s Shambaugh House\, and friends of the IWP in addition to large portraits of writers by photographer Thomas Langdon.

SUMMARY:Lori Erickson and Jennifer Ohman-Rodriguez: The Art\, Craft and Call to be a Spiritual Writer
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, two of Iowa’s leading spiritual writers discuss their work. Spiritual writing is a growing subgenre in fiction as well as in memoir\, poetry\, meditations\, and self-help. It may or may not be aligned with an organized religion\, faith\, belief system\, or philosophy\, yet all spiritual writing seeks to discover human truths and also typically struggles with how we live and develop in the midst of something larger than ourselves. This field of writing is as ancient as the earliest sacred texts and as ongoing as the poetry of Mary Carr\, the theology of Howard Thurman\, the novels of Marilynne Robinson\, and the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh. Jennifer Ohman-Rodgriguez and Lori Erickson discuss their own spiritual explorations as a basis for their writing and the value of this type of writing for all seekers.
