<p><a href="https://news.yale.edu/2019/03/13/eight-writers-awarded-yales-windham-campbell-prizes">The 2019 recipients of the Windham-Campbell Literature Prizes</a> will come to Yale on Wednesday, Sept. 18 for a three-day literary festival where they will share
their work, engage in conversation on a range of subjects, and celebrate reading and the written word with the local community. The 2019 prize recipients, announced on March 13, are: in fiction, Danielle McLaughlin (Ireland) and David Chariandy (Canada); in
nonfiction, Raghu Karnad (India) and Rebecca Solnit (United States); in poetry, Ishion Hutchinson (Jamaica) and Kwame Dawes (Ghana/Jamaica/United States); in drama, Young Jean Lee (United States) and Patricia Cornelius (Australia). The festival will feature
a keynote address by <a href="https://www.eileenmyles.com/" target="_blank">poet and writer Eileen Myles</a> as well as a dance party, a reading by the prize recipients, and a writers’ conversation on police violence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a href="https://windhamcampbell.org/festivals/2019/full" target="_blank">The full schedule of talks, discussions, and readings is available on the Windham-Campbell Prizes website</a>. All events are free and open to the public.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Windham-Campbell Prizes were established in 2013 by novelist and memoirist Donald Windham in memory of his partner of 40 years, Sandy M. Campbell, to call attention to literary achievement and provide writers working in English with the opportunity to
focus on their work independent of financial concerns. Recipients receive $165,000. The prizes are administered by the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, which houses the <a href="http://hdl.handle.net/10079/fa/beinecke.windham" target="_blank">Donald
Windham and Sandy Campbell Papers</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
