>Sewanee Writers’ Conference 2009

>The wonderful Sewanee Writers’ Conference kicks into gear today (check in and opening ceremonies were yesterday), and I’m not there. I wish I were. As always, it’s a great lineup of faculty and guests, and I’ve got a number of friends attending as participants, scholars, and fellows. I’ll be on the lookout for folks who are blogging from the conference, and will post links here. (If you’re blogging the conference and happen to see this post, leave comment and a link here, please!)

The main sessions of the conference are held on campus at the Women’s Center, and usually there is a display of art for the duration of the conference. This year’s featured work is IndiaWorld by Preston Merchant.
