For over 50 years, SUNY Delhi students, faculty, and staff have contributed their creative works to Agate, the campus literary and arts magazine.
Join faculty editor Dr. Ben West, student editors from his Creative Writing class, and members of the SUNY Delhi community as we celebrate the release of this year’s magazine, the first print edition since 2020.  The event will feature a reading by guest poet Brad Fest, as well as selected readings from SUNY Delhi students.
There is no charge for this event, though a $5 donation is appreciated. Copies of the magazine will be available, and light refreshments will be served.
