Montminy Hall, Ste. Marie Catholic Church, Manchester, New Hampshire

Join us for the largest annual Catholic literature conference in New England—if not the nation—as we explore foundational, neglected, and new works of American literature. Through engaging presentations on American novels, short stories, and poems, through fellowship and conversation, this conference will take stock of the “literary pulse” of America as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Featuring:

Joseph Pearce on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Matthew Mehan on Nathaniel Hawthorne

James Matthew Wilson on his poetic sequence of Catholic America

Jeremy Beer on Booth Tarkington

Amy Fahey on Flannery O’Connor

Registration is now closed. Thank you!
