George Scarbrough Center Opening and Symposium
Appalachian poetry lost a major voice when Tennessee poet George Scarbrough passed away in 2008. Interest in Scarbrough’s work is experiencing a revival, and Reinhardt University is pleased to be at the forefront with the opening of the George Scarbrough Center for Southern and Appalachian Literature. The Scarbrough Center is an archive for the papers, books, and memorabilia from Scarbrough’s estate, and aspires to provide scholars with access to materials relating to the Tennessee-born poet, and encourage interest in his work.
