Bucket Course: A Tutorial on Iowa’s Literature

Overview

Come learn about the past, present, and future of our state through a sampling of its literature. Embracing a generous definition of the term literature, we will explore a range of writing, such as folklore, travel narratives, poetry, memoir, legal documents, and contemporary prize-winning fiction. Attendees will come to appreciate that every place, including Iowa, has a rich literary history just waiting to be enjoyed. Presented by Phillip Jones, Associate Professor Humanities Librarian and Coordinator of Research Services.

Bucket Courses are free educational programs held in the Katherine Howell Weingart ’61 Civic Innovation Pavilion at Renfrow Hall (1033 Broad St.) and coordinated through a group dedicated to life-long learning – Grinnell College in collaboration with the Bucket Course committee. All Classes held on Wednesdays from 10-11 AM. No preregistration required, no fee to attend, and everyone is welcome.
