What is 1718?

So the first thing y’all probably want to know is: WHAT IS 1718???

1718 is a reading series which takes place at the Columns Hotel on St. Charles in New Orleans. It is a student-run program directed by students from Loyola University of New Orleans, Tulane University, and the University of New Orleans. Each 1718 reading event features one established poet or writer, followed by several student writers from the New Orleans area.

Readings start at 7pm (though happy hour starts at 5!) and usually occur on the first Tuesday of every month. This is, of course, subject to change, but readings and readers are planned and announced long in advance so you have time to adjust. Make sure to check back here for future reading announcements.
