Under the direction of Dr. Maria Lester and with the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, the inaugural Summer Creative Writing Workshop concluded—after perhaps giving a boost to a new generation of writers who got to spend a week thinking and writing inside the house where a young John Updike said his own “creative eggs were hatched.” Here are some scenes from the week. We’ll all look forward to seeing what these young talents will publish in the future.
