Explore Iowa City's unique literary history with a stroll down the Iowa Avenue Literary Walk. The Walk highlights the many authors who studied at the world-famous Iowa Writer's Workshop or called Iowa City home, among them: Robert Frost, Dylan Thomas, Kurt Vonnegut, John Irving, W.P. Kinsella and Tennesee Williams. Their work and the work of so many others has earned Iowa City recognition as one of only three UNESCO Cities of Literature in the world.
