We are writers and readers associated with the Graduate School of Liberal Studies at Hamline University in Saint Paul, MN. Membership is open to any graduate student in the MALS and MFA programs at the university. West Egg Literati is responsible for creating and fostering community within the GLS program as well as with the writing world at large. The group hosts and promotes multiple events each year including open mics, readings, discussions, and other literary, cultural, and social outings, all of which are free and open to the public. We know that sometimes it’s hard to get together, so we’re building infrastructure here. 

Curious about what we’re up to?
Please check our calendar of events.

If you are a Hamline GLS student, then you are a part of West Egg. If you are interested in helping with the planning of West Egg events, please contact us.

West Egg Literati is also the proud home of the literary magazine, rock, paper, scissors. rps is a magazine devoted to publishing work that contributes to the literary and social discussion, and that is written by current graduate students in MFA and Liberal Arts programs. rps is published annually by GLS students and contains poetry, essays, interviews, creative nonfiction and fiction.
