National Day on Writing at Columbus State

Join us for a Celebration of the National Day on Writing at Columbus State University at the Sara D. Spencer Event Hall, October 20, 2009, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Georgia Fiction Writers Jamie Iredell, author of Prose: Poems, a Novel, and Man Martin, author of Days of the Endless Corvette, will read from their recent publications and discuss the archival research process that makes their writing come alive for readers. Students, Faculty, Staff, and their friends, are invited to engage with these award winning authors and educators and celebrate writing and research in our community.

Mr. Martin's Days of the Endless Corvette earned him the Georgia Author of the Year in 2008. His short work has appeared in Kenyon Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, and McSweeney's Online. His radio commentaries can be heard on GPB's Georgia Gazette.

Mr. Iredell's Prose: Poems, a Novel interweaves the chapbooks Before I Moved to Nevada, When I Moved to Nevada, and Atlanta. His writing has appeared in many literary magazines, including The Chattahoochee Review, The Literary Review, and The Cortland Review. He was a founding editor of New South literary magazine, and he designs books for C & R Press.
