2008 Scholarships Announced!
Of course, awards are always somewhat arbitrary and ultimately just a matter of taste, and the selection process this year was especially difficult-there were many, many excellent candidates. And lest it seem like damning with faint praise to mention the runner-ups, they will be invited to read at the Seminar!

Each January, we explore a different literary theme through lectures, panel presentations, readings, informal gatherings, and discussions. In January 2011, we explore food in literature with our 29th annual Seminar, THE HUNGRY MUSE.
