Eliot Prize for Poetry and the Irish Times Poetry Prize, and 2017's On Balance, which won the Forward Prize for Best Collection. Parallax was included in Modern Ireland in 100 Artworks, edited by Fintan O'Toole in 2016, as the most important work by any Irish artist for the year 2013. Morrissey is a professor of creative writing and director of the Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts at Newcastle University.
Howe is a poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, and scholar who is the Eidson Distinguished Professor in American Literature in the UGA department of English. A member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, she was the inaugural recipient of the Modern Languages Association Prize for Studies in Native American Literatures, Cultures, and Languages in 2014. Howe has collaborated with Irish poets Doireann Ni Ghriofa and Padraig Kirwan on both scholarly and poetic projects that celebrate a Choctaw gift to the Irish in 1847 during the Irish Potato Famine.

Megan Burchett, Maddie Zerkel, Jonathan Quinn Nowell, Forest Kelley, and Alexis Spina play off one another's practices in the context of the given space to create connections, and explore elements of scale, materiality and domestic forms. The curators, Kira Hegeman and Jon Vogt, are visual artists and art educators in Athens, Georgia. Hegeman is currently completing a PhD in Art Education, in which she is exploring material culture, consumption, and interaction through participatory, public art installations.

8. Call for Proposals: a2ru 2018 National Conference
"Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability"
November 1-3, 2018
Hosted by the University of Georgia
https://a2ru.org/events/2018-national-conference/
Deadline: Friday, April 6
The 2018 theme, "Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability," is an invitation to explore the relationship between creativity and diverse cultural locations, by framing discussions about design, resilience, and sustainability in context of interdisciplinary artistic and environmental practice. The theme offers an opportunity to think broadly about the ecology of the arts and their environments, in terms of performance, design, and engineering. A land and sea grant institution inextricable from the town of Athens and the broader ecologies of Georgia and the Southeast, the University of Georgia will provide a rich context for thinking creatively about Arts Environments globally.
a2ru invites proposals for presentations from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners about arts-integrative research, practice, and curricula that explore the intersections, synergies, and interfaces between arts, environments, and their influence on design, resilience, and sustainability. Presentations vary in length and number of participants. We accept panel, paper, performance, and working group proposals. a2ru encourages proposals featuring panelists who are diverse in their backgrounds, pursuits, affiliations, locations, and ages. The ideal panel discussion will consist of participants who represent a broad range of perspectives and experiences, and represent more than one institution.
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is a partnership of institutions committed to ensuring the greatest possible institutional support for the full spectrum of arts and arts-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice for the benefit of all students and faculty at research universities and the communities they serve.
