Celebrating Willa Cather 150 – Ames Writers Collective

Produced in association with the National Willa Cather Center, the Ames Writers Collective and the Ames Public Library will host a sesquicentennial celebration of Willa Cather, one of the most significant and treasured American writers of the 20th century. Cather crystallized the spirit of the American West with a singular voice in her body of poems, essays, short stories, and the critically acclaimed novels One of Ours, O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia.

This event will feature excerpt readings as a way to reacquaint readers and introduce new readers to Cather’s body of work.

Birthday goodies will be served as well as a book drawing. Willa Cather’s birthday is December 7th.
