Take part in the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read by enjoying this year's selection, Advice from the Lights, a collection of poems about memory, gender, and identity by Stephanie (formerly Stephen) Burt.

The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read, a partnership with Arts Midwest, broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. The Big Read is presented in Los Angeles by the Department of Cultural Affairs.
