New ‘Georgia Review’ program will celebrate Pulitzer Prize writers, writing

The Georgia Review, UGA’s award-winning literary quarterly, has established “The Pulitzer Legacy in Georgia” program-a four-day celebration of fine writing and writers.

Hosted by the Jekyll Island Club, the first program will be held Oct. 27-30. The event features four recent Pulitzer Prize winners, all of whom have an association with the state of Georgia, UGA and/or The Georgia Review: poets Stephen Dunn and Natasha Trethewey, journalist and historian Hank Klibanoff, and historian Edward Larson.

Over the course of the week, each guest will participate in activities including readings, panel discussions, question-and-answer sessions and informal gatherings with attendees.

Registration for the event continues through early October or until capacity is reached. A ticket for the entire week includes admission to all conference events, including author readings and book signings, question-and-answer sessions, most meals, Jekyll Island History tours and tours of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Individual day tickets also are available.
