Virtual Celebration December 4 & 5

VIRTUAL CELEBRATION SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 4 & 5, 2020

Kestrel: A Journal of Literature and Art and the Department of Humanities at Fairmont State University are pleased to announce a virtual Kestrel Celebration for issues 42 and 43 on December 4 and 5, 2020. The weekend will include readings and two panel discussions featuring twelve contributors and a Happy Hour Open Mic on Saturday evening.

On Friday, December 4, from 6-8 pm Kestrel poetry editor Elizabeth Savage will moderate the panel “I heed the little one, a likeness” (from the poem “Adam and Little Eve” by Marion Brown). Panelists will share a poem or short prose work by a writer whose work inspires them and then read a short selection from their own work. Panelists will discuss how they chose the representative poem or prose piece, and what aspects of the work have been important to their own writing. Panelists might consider in what ways signature features in the writer's work are strengths and to what extent they are limitations. Have participants ever thought a piece of writing was too much like what they “always” write? Do you return to subject or style because it’s recognizable as your own? 

Friday’s panel will feature Marion Brown (Kestrel 43), Rick Campbell (Kestrel 42), Michael Gills (Kestrel 43), René Houtrides (Kestrel 43), Jimmy Long (Kestrel 42), and Ellen McGrath Smith (Kestrel 42).

On Saturday, December 5, from 2-4 p.m., fiction editor Suzanne Heagy will moderate the panel “the long commute to perception” (from the poem “Diane Arbus” by Richard Terrill). Panelists will discuss how perception changes when the casual glance turns into the contemplative gaze. Panelists will respond to the questions: is it true that the longer we look, the more we see? What subjects draw you back time and again?

This panel will feature Kimberly Parish Davis (Kestrel 43), Steve Oberlechner (Kestrel 42), David Rock (Kestrel 42), Stanley Patrick Stocker (Kestrel 42), Richard Terrill (Kestrel 43), and Jim Zimmerman (Kestrel 43). You can join the event here: https://fairmontstate.webex.com/fairmontstate/j.php?MTID=m96d3d7de9d0053...

On Saturday, December 5, from 6-8 p.m., all contributors to Kestrel 42 and 43 are invited to read in a virtual Open Mic event and to raise a glass in celebration of the arts! Join us using this link: https://fairmontstate.webex.com/fairmontstate/j.php?MTID=m3e3cda0d307545...

All events will be live streamed on WebEx and are free and open to the public. For more information about events or participating writers, see events on Kestrel’s webpage and Facebook page or contact Dr. Donna Long at donna.long@fairmontstate.edu.
