Here’s a bit about the Series: The Contemporary Writers Series brings nationally and internationally known writers to our campus to share their work and to discuss their art with Canisius students in an informal setting. Past guests to Canisius include Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award winners, McArthur "genius" grant winners, and a Nobel Laureate: Richard Russo, George Saunders, Edwidge Danticat, Sharon Olds, Ann Patchett, Junot Diaz, Paul Muldoon, Tracy Kidder, Tracy K. Smith, Alice McDermott, and Seamus Heaney, among others.
Founded with a grant from the John R. Oishei Foundation and continued through the Peter Canisius Distinguished Teaching Professorship Program, the writer series is generously supported today by the Hassett, Scoma, and Lowery Endowments; The National Endowment for the Arts; and with the cooperation of The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, Just Buffalo Literary Center, The Center for Urban Education, and Talking Leaves Books.
