Yale's Windham-Campbell Literature Prizes have transformed their flagship fall literary festival into a virtual salon series showcasing the creativity of its 2021 recipients over the course of nine episodes streaming every Wednesday from Sept. 15 to Nov. Each episode will highlight one of the eight prize recipients with the final episode featuring a keynote address by U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo based on the theme "Why I Write." One-time registration for all nine episodes is free and open to the public. The series will take its audience on an international literary tour of words, music, performance, and art. " We are thrilled to have developed a blend of video and audience interaction that will give an innovative, virtual platform to the extraordinary creativity of this year's prize recipients," said Michael Kelleher, director of the Windham-Campbell Prizes.
