The Georgia Review, UGA’s quarterly journal of arts and letters, recently earned six gold honors and a total of 13 citations at the Magazine Association of the Southeast’s 2009 GAMMA Awards ceremony. The awards, judged by editors and journalists from across America, were for work published in the Review’s 2008 issues.
For the third consecutive year, the Review won the general excellence award in its category-consumer paid with revenue of less than $1 million dollars. The other gold awards were for best essay (“Forms and Structures” by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Stephen Dunn); best feature (“My Franziska, Charlotte Salomon and the Decision Not to Be: Suicide Before, During and After the Holocaust” by Susan Gubar); best photography (“The Course of History” by Bart Michiels); best profile (“Dreaming Richard Hugo” by Frances McCue); and best series (“Richard Hugo: ‘We Are Called Human,'” which included McCue’s essay, essays on Hugo by five other writers and poems by Hugo himself). The Review also took silver awards for best single issue, best essay, best profile and best feature; a bronze award for best series; and honorable mentions for best design and best single cover.
