One of the hardest parts about an academic year coming to an end is that another cohort of our graduate students leaves us. Before that happens, though, we celebrate them at readings attended by the faculty, their peers, their own students, other members of the Madison writing community, and often their family members who fly in for the event. At our first farewell reading of this year, held on March 15, 2016 at the Madison Public Library, the readers were (pictured here left to right) Jackson Tobin, Hanna Halperin-Goldstein, and Piyali Bhattacharya. The work they read was, as always, stunning.
