“The Corpus Christi Literary Reading Series is peerless in the country—a grassroots program, without institutional oversight or support, made possible by a group of avid, passionate readers. CCLRS brings the most important visions and voices in contemporary literature to the Coastal Bend, affording the community rare access to writers who are shaping the culture and affording visiting writers the gift of a fully engaged audience. This is a unique and uniquely vital series, and each event has the potential to change lives. It has certainly changed mine.”
—Bret Anthony Johnston
