The new issue of Earthwords, the University of Iowa undergraduate literary and art review, will be introduced in a free reading at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 14, in Prairie Lights Books. The reading will also be streamed live at the Writing University Website, www.writinguniversity.org.

Editor Jessica Jenkins says, "Immediately following the reading we will be holding the first annual Artist's After-party at Public Space One where we will feature a small gallery showing of the published authors and allow time for attendees to mingle and chat. Refreshments will be served and there will be some musical entertainment."
