3. 1/16/2008 Natasha Trethewey Reading
The Georgia Review is pleased to announce that Natasha Trethewey, the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner
in poetry and a University of Georgia graduate, will give a reading on campus on January 16th,
2008. The event will take place at 4pm in the Student Learning Center, room 171, is free and open
to the public, and is an approved blue card cultural event for UGA students. Natasha Trethewey
was born in Gulfport, Mississippi. She has a B.A. in English from UGA, an M.A. in English and
creative writing from Hollins University, and an M.F.A in poetry from the University of
Massachusetts. Her most recent collection is Native Guard (2006), for which she won the Pulitzer
Prize. Her first poetry collection, Domestic Work (2000), won the inaugural 1999 Cave Canem
poetry prize (selected by Rita Dove), a 2001 Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Book Prize,
and the 2001 Lillian Smith Award for Poetry. Her second collection, Bellocq's Ophelia (2002),
received the 2003 Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Book Prize and was named a 2003
Notable Book by the American Library Association. Trethewey has published widely in literary and
other magazines, including The Georgia Review. She currently holds the Phillis Wheatley
Distinguished Chair in Poetry at Emory University. Ms. Trethewey says: “Twenty years ago I was a
senior at UGA, and it is a delight to be returning after all this time to a place that meant so much
to me and my early development as a writer. I can still remember sitting in Dr. Charlie Wynes'
class and learning that history--even with a capital H--is personal. I think that's why I continue
to explore in my work the intersections between public and personal history, collective and private
memory.”
