The Holloway Series in Poetry

The Holloway Series in Poetry is sponsored by the University of California, Berkeley, English Department, and is funded through an Endowment made by Roberta C. Holloway in 1981. This generous fund has enabled us to establish a tradition of poetry on campus to celebrate the works of renowned and rising contemporary poets, and provide an opportunity for graduate student poets from the UC Berkeley campus community to introduce and read alongside a featured poet.

Each academic year the Holloway Series honors one distinguished poet with a residency at the University of California, Berkeley, formally known as the Holloway Lectureship in the Practice of Poetry. Residents teach a semester-long creative writing workshop, are welcomed in the annual fall faculty poetry reading, and give a featured reading in the Holloway Series.
