Winter Wheat is a  festival of creative writing workshops, readings, book fair, and open mic. The opening event is a reading by F. Daniel Rzicznek, author of Settlers, a collection of poetry (Free Verse Editions/Parlor Press, 2018). His recent poetry has appeared in West Branch, Colorado Review, Willow Springs, Adroit Journal, The Collagist, and elsewhere. He teaches at BGSU, where he also serves as director of the creative writing program.

The festival continues Friday and Saturday; most of those events are at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. See the calendar for Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 for more information, or visit the Winter Wheat website at bgsu.edu/winterwheat
