The Eudora Welty Writers’ Symposium, an annual October event at Mississippi University for Women, was established in 1989 by the Division of Humanities to honor Miss Welty and to commemorate the inauguration of Dr. Clyda Rent. During the Symposium, Southern writers read from and discussed their works to an audience of several hundred. In 1996, the symposium and its director, Dr. Ginger Hitt, were presented the first-ever Chair’s Award for Excellence by the Mississippi Humanities Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year a theme is chosen to provide coherence and to stimulate interest. Writers whose works embody the year’s theme are invited to read and discuss their work. In its first thirty years from 1989 through 2018, 227 different writers and scholars have appeared, over 40 of whom have returned for a second or third symposium (or more). A list of past themes and participants<\/strong><\/a> is provided below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium has established a reputation for showcasing new talent: Ann Patchett, Vicki Covington, Larry Brown, Dori Sanders, Jeanne Lebow, Nanci Kincaid, Clifton Taulbert, Elizabeth Dewberry, Dorothy Shawhan, Rebecca Wells, Judson Mitcham, Lynna Williams, Rebecca Wells, Natasha Trethewey, Haven Kimmel, and Jesmyn Ward appeared on the symposium program after publishing a single work, or in a few cases, two. They are now recognized as prominent contemporary southern writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many writers featured at the symposium have been prize-winners on state, national, and international levels. Four have been Pulitzer Prize winners: Yusef Komunyaaka in 1994 for poetry, Edward Humes in 1989 for special reporting in journalism, Donald Justice in 1980 for poetry, and Natasha Trethewey in 2007 for poetry. Steve Yarbrough won the Pushcart Prize in 1998; Judson Mitcham won a Pushcart poetry prize in 1989; Al Young won the Pushcart in 1976 and 1980. Young is also the winner of the American Book Award in 1982, a PEN USA award in 1996, and has served as Poet Laureate of California. Other poet laureates include Paul Ruffin (Texas) and Natasha Tretheway, who served as poet laureate of Mississippi and of the United States simultaneously (though Mississippi honored her first).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholars, as well as writers, are invited to the conference. Mississippi University for Women and the University Press of Mississippi jointly award the Eudora Welty Prize to an outstanding work of literary scholarship. The prize consists of publication of the manuscript by the Press and a $2000 cash award by MUW. The winner of this prize is invited to present her or his work at the symposium. Prize winners are exemplary scholars in their respective fields; Phillip Page, the 1996 winner for his work on the novels of Toni Morrison, was awarded the 1997 Toni Morrison Prize by the Toni Morrison Society. Outstanding Welty scholars, such as Suzanne Marrs, Pearl McHaney, Jan Nordby Gretlund, Michael Kreyling, Peggy Prenshaw, Rebecca Mark, and Peter Schmidt have appeared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
