November 15: CSP Hosts Heginbotham Literary Lecture

 Hampl is the author of numerous books and works of poetry, prose and non-fiction, including two highly acclaimed memoirs, A Romantic Education and Virgin Time. In her most recent book I Could Tell You Stories: Sojourns in the Land of Memory, Hampl reflects on the landscape bordered by memory and imagination in a series of story-like recollections and essays. All three books were selected as New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Hampl also is a Regents? Professor at the University of Minnesota and permanent faculty with the Prague Summer Program. 

 The Heginbotham Literary Lecture Series is made possible by private donors who established an endowment to honor Dr. Eleanor Heginbotham and her distinguished record of teaching and scholarship at Concordia University as well as her many contributions to the literary community in the Twin Cities.  Heginbotham is a professor emeritus of English and Modern Languages, an award-winning Emily Dickinson expert and a Senior Fulbright Scholar who served at Concordia for 10 years until her retirement in 2004.
