Receiving the KR award involves a greater engagement with our literary community and our students than simply being honored at the Rainbow Room in New York on November 7. Professor Dove will join us in Gambier for the KR Literary Festival, meeting with students, attending readings and workshops, and presenting the annual Denham Sutcliffe Memorial Lecture as the closing event of the festivities.
Perhaps more important still—and I am truly exhilarated in anticipation—she will be joining the noted Australian poet and KR’s international editor, John Kinsella, as guest editors of a special issue scheduled for Nov/Dec 2019 on literary activism. (Submissions for this issue are open, as with all others, from September 15–November 1, 2018.) This promises to be a singular opportunity to explore both the potential and the limits of art in transforming society to embody greater justice and equality.
