Georgia’s storied and deep literary history will be on full display at the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame’s first exhibit in its new home, the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries at the University of Georgia (300 S. Hull Street), beginning with a special public event September 27. The exhibit will run through December 20.
Attendees can enjoy a light breakfast, a short video presentation about the Hall of Fame, librarian-led tours of the new exhibit, and the company of current members Coleman Barks, David Bottoms, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Terry Kay, and Philip Lee Williams. The authors will also participate in a writer’s literary “salon,” discussing Georgia’s literary scene, Georgia’s legendary authors, what it means to be part of the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame, and much more.
The salon will begin at 10 a.m. in Room 285, followed by the exhibit opening and tour in the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library Gallery at 11:15 a.m.
