Writers Karen Salyer McElmurray and Maryn McKenna to read and lecture at Young Harris College, Young Harris, GA, March 13, and April 5, 2018

Two talented writers who will be on the YHC campus in March and April. Both are free and open to the public.

Karen Salyer McElmurray will deliver the 2018 Heinze Lecture at YHC this year in Wilson Lecture Hall on March 13, 2018 at 6:30 pm. She will read from both her creative nonfiction work and new fiction. McElmurray's work is set in Appalachia and looks critically at the challenges of living in, leaving, and returning to the region as well as the beauty and worth of such journeys. Her language is lyrical and her honesty piercing. You will not be disappointed in spending an hour with her! Please come if you are able! And share with any in our community that might be interested.

Journalist and author Maryn McKenna will give a lecture at YHC on Thursday, April 5th at 7 p.m. in the Hatcher Room, Rollins Campus Center. McKenna's most recent book, Big Chicken, tracks the evolution of poultry farming and discusses the dangers of the industry's use of antibiotics. New York Times columnist Mark Bittman calls the book "A must-read for anyone who cares about the quality of food and the welfare of animals." Big Chicken also has local ties, as nearby Gainesville, Georgia, plays a central role.
