New University Literary Magazine Hosts Bookfair at Barnes & Noble
Join the staff of The Arkansas International this Saturday at Barnes and Noble
You're invited to celebrate the launch of the university's new literary magazine, The Arkansas International, on Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Fayetteville Barnes & Noble store. The event features a free bookfair, and a portion of book sales will go to benefit the journal.
From noon to 4 p.m., journal staff will host a series of events celebrating literature in the Fayetteville community, including creative writing workshops (open to writers of all ages and genres), and a panel for teachers on the U of A Writers in the School (WITS) program.
Saturday, Oct. 8, is also an Educator Appreciation Day at Barnes & Noble, which means K-12 educators will receive 25 percent off personal purchases and 10 percent off in the Cafe. Community members of all ages are encouraged to attend!
The Arkansas International is a literary magazine produced by graduate students and faculty member Geoffrey Brock in the University of Arkansas Program in Creative Writing and Translation. The magazine features creative work, essays, interviews and reviews by authors from the U.S. and abroad.
Founded in 1966, the University of Arkansas Program in Creative Writing and Translation in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences consistently ranks in the top 40 Master of Fine Arts programs nationwide, according to Poets & Writers magazine. The Atlantic Monthly named the U of A among the "Top Five Most Innovative" M.F.A. programs in the nation. Noteworthy graduates include Barry Hannah, C.D. Wright, Lucinda Roy and Nic Pizzolatto.
