We’ll hear from poets, scholars, visual artists, storytellers, and potters. All are welcome!

Craigardan’s Applebarn Series is made possible in part thanks to support from the Charles R. Wood Foundation.

Location: Main Campus. Look for Craigardan Event sign at the end of Main Campus driveway (two “doors” west of the farm store, towards Keene).


Colin Bonini is a writer from San Jose, California and a current MFA candidate in Fiction at Arizona State University. His work appears or is forthcoming in the Under Review, The Adroit Journal, Wig-Wag, Glassworks Magazine, and elsewhere.


Gil Israeli is a freelance writer from New York City whose stories are often set in spaces where interior/exterior life overlap, akin to paintings of Edward Hopper’s New York City and Norman Rockwell’s town life. His fiction has appeared and are forthcoming in The Writers’ Rock Anthology, Inkburns, The Airgonaut Review, The Eunoia Review, The Spry Literary Review, a story to be anthologized in The Journal of Experimental Fiction, etc. He is currently working on a play and a memoir. He is grateful that working as an ethnographer, a multi-perspectival methodology for studying group behavior, would prove so useful for fiction writing. His generous teachers from years past include John Barth, Stephen Dixon, Jean McGarry and Paul LaFarge, and he teaches Creative Writing online for the Burlington Writers’ Workshop, Burlington, Vermont. Gil seeks artistic kin and loves to share stories and talk about craft with writers who also have faith in the Muses.
