Following each reading, guests are invited to tour the Elliston Poetry Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intent of the series is to enrich and engage the UC campus and Cincinnati communities in accordance with the Libraries\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/libraries.uc.edu\/about\/strategic-plan.html\">Strategic Plan<\/a> and the Next Lives Here Strategic Directions in support of Academic Excellence and Community Engagement.
