Writer's Harvest

Writers' Harvest 2011 is next Thursday (October 27, 2011) at 7:00 p.m. in the Peanut Museum at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture. So far, the donations this year have been very sparse. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. And please consider attending. Spread the word. Invite your students. Invite your friends. Thanks for any help.

Jordan Cofer has good news to share. His article, “The Cain Allusion as a unifying theme in Jean Toomer’s Cane” will appear in The Explicator. Also, his review of Flannery O’Connor in the Age of Terrorism will be published in the Winter issue of Christianity and Literature.

Brackish

Jeff Newberry has three poems up at the new issue of Burnt Bridge, a new online journal. These poems are all from his dissertation manuscript, Brackish.

Featured Readers Announced:

Pegasus is pleased to announce the featured readers for Writers' Harvest 2011, novelist Morris Smith and poet Andy Frazee.


Morris Smith lives in Valdosta, Georgia. She studied at Valdosta State University and at Tulane University and has worked as a teacher and social worker. In 1998 she was nominated as Georgia Author of the Year for a short story sequence, Spencer Road (University of Tennessee Press). In 2005 another story collection, Zambian Text, was published by Mercer University Press.


Andy Frazee is author of The Body, the Rooms (Subito Press, 2011) and That the World Should Never Again be Destroyed by Flood (New American Press, 2010). His Pushcart Prize-nominated poetry has appeared in 1913, Eleven Eleven, Cannot Exist, BlazeVOX, and other journals, and his book reviews and criticism regularly appear in Verse and The Quarterly Conversation. The son, grandson and great-grandson of farmers, he grew up in rural Central Illinois. A graduate of the University of Illinois and the University of Georgia, he currently holds a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship at Georgia Tech.
