If there was any doubt about Ben Folds’ ability to make an album without former bandmates Robert Sledge and Darren Jessee by his side, “Rockin’ The Suburbs” has washed it away.

Famous Michigan writers and poets have the chance to display their work by taking part in the Michigan Writers Series, which is presented by the MSU Libraries. Beginning in 1992, the annual fall event was created to recognize writers who had ties to Michigan and bring those ties to campus. Because of increased popularity and audiences from 25 to 75 people, the yearly gathering of writers was eventually changed to a series. “I realized the audience was larger, so I decided to switch it to a series,” founder Peter Berg said. Writers now have more chances to express their work, while allowing the audience to hear some of their favorite readings and interact with them. From its creation, the series has been a complement to the Michigan Writers Collection, which is a primary resource for the rich literary heritage existing in Michigan. The collection was started to recognize the works created by MSU students that went on to earn national and international recognition.
