The Wellspring Literary Series featuring author Eric Torgersen will take place at 7 pm Monday, April 5, 2027, in The Morey Family Gallery at Art Reach of Mid Michigan, 111 E. Broadway in downtown Mt. Pleasant.

This special evening will also feature readings by graduating students from Central Michigan University's MA in Creative Writing program, offering an opportunity to celebrate both an established local author and emerging literary voices.

Torgersen is a poet, novelist and retired Central Michigan University professor who taught creative writing for 38 years before retiring in 2008. He has published seven books of poetry and three novellas, including one written in verse. His scholarly work, "Dear Friend: Rainer Maria Rilke and Paula Modersohn-Becker," has become a standard reference on the subject.

A longtime resident of Mt. Pleasant, Torgersen studied German literature at Cornell University, served in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia and earned his MFA in Poetry from the University of Iowa.

Join us for an evening celebrating literature, creativity and the next generation of writers. This event is free and open to the public.
