Grinnell-in-Des Moines: Alumni Poetry-Prose Slam
Bill Morain '64 and the Grinnell-in-Des Moines Regional Planning Committee invite all local alumni to a night of poetry and prose reading at the home of Kendra Hillman Chilcoat '94 and Doane Chilcoat '93! Attendees are invited to read a short work, perhaps five minutes or less, of poetry or prose. We are excited to share that Hai-Dang Phan '03, assistant professor of English at Grinnell, and writer Molly Backes '02 will both be reading from their work. Attendees are assured of an evening of literary edification, gratification, and whimsy.
