We regret the passing, on April 11, 2024, of the distinguished Romanian author and critic Dan Cristea, who served as the editor in chief of the Luceafărul de Dimineață cultural monthly. In addition to being an alum of the 1985 Fall Residency, Cristea received his PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Iowa.
Every fall, in collaboration with the Iowa City Public Library (ICPL), the IWP organizes a weekly series of panels on current literary and cultural themes. These gatherings are an opportunity for the Fall Residents to deliver short papers they've written, inspired by the panel topic, and for the community at large to converse with the international visitors.
Many of these recordings and papers have also been archived in the IWP Collection at UI's Main Library.
