The Carol Connolly Reading Series is Minnesota's first and only ongoing series of public literary readings whose mission it is to provide a platform for writers historically excluded from traditional literary settings. It is vital that communities facing inequality of economic resources and under-representation in the arts have a place where their voices can be heard; where their stories can be told. The Carol Connolly Reading Series is that place in the Twin Cities' literary community.

Support the series. Support the stories.

Join us for this incredible evening of good food, great writers, and absolute literary vitality.

We'll see you there!
