On Wednesday, October 16, NEHS will be hosting a webinar with two-time National Book Award-winning author Jesmyn Ward.
Ward has received the MacArthur Genius Grant, a Stegner Fellowship, a John and Renee Grisham Writers Residency, the Strauss Living Prize, and the 2022 Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction. She is the historic winner—first woman and first Black American—of two National Book Awards for Fiction for Sing, Unburied, Sing (2017) and Salvage the Bones (2011). She is also the author of the novel Where the Line Bleeds and the memoir Men We Reaped, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize and the Media for a Just Society Award.
Not only will NEHS student members and Chapter Advisors be able to hear Ward speak at this unique event, but there will also be a chance to ask your questions about Sing, Unburied, Sing and the author’s other texts, her creative process, and other issues of contemporary literary interest.
