Celebrate the region’s writers and their works as Joyner Library at East Carolina University presents the Fourth Eastern North Carolina Literary Homecoming on Friday and Saturday, September 28 and 29, 2007, on East Carolina’s campus.
Building upon the success of last year’s homecoming, this year’s event will feature award-winning authors whose writings are rooted in the soil of eastern North Carolina. Their works represent a variety of genres, including poetry, oral history, fiction, historical non-fiction, and North Carolina culture. A keynote address by Samm-Art Williams and lively panel discussions featuring the authors will highlight the event. Discussion of issues raised by the speakers will be encouraged, and audience members can meet the authors during book signings.
Eastern North Carolina Literary Homecoming events are free (except for the boxed lunch on Saturday, September 29), and we welcome and encourage the public to attend and share in an appreciation of our rich literary traditions. Advance registration is requested, but registration at the door will be available as space permits.
Educators have the option to receive a CEU reading credit.
Individuals requesting accommodation under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) should call 252-737-1016 (voice/TTY) at least forty-eight hours prior to the event.
