Alison Thumel’s debut poetry collection, Architect, won the 2024 Miller Williams Poetry Prize and was a finalist for the 2025 Kate Tufts Poetry Award. She is the recipient of a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in poetry at Stanford University, a grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation, and the Martha Meier Renk Fellowship from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she completed her MFA. Her poems have appeared widely, including in Poetry, Ploughshares, and New England Review. She lives and writes in Wisconsin.
Elizabeth Hendricks is from New Berlin and is currently a junior at the University of Iowa. An aspiring fantasy author, she works as the web editor for Earthwords Undergraduate Literary Review, the oldest literary magazine on campus. When she isn’t writing, she loves reading, drawing, and spending time in nature.
We are excited to again partner with Mineral Point’s independent bookstore for our 2026 reading series. Unless noted, readings will be held at Republic of Letters Books, 151 High St., Mineral Point.
