Each February West Feliciana Parish flies the literary flag high when the Celebration of Literature and Art's Writers and Readers Symposium invites accomplished authors to present readings and discuss works at Hemingbough Conference Center. The goal of this annual symposium is to offer audiences a well-balanced appreciation for the art of literature in all its forms through a focus on the work of Louisiana writers. Catharine Savage Brosman, John Kemp, Michael H. Rubin, Genaro K Lý Smith, M.O. Walsh and Ernest J. Gaines are the featured authors; readings and discussions about their work and the creative process will be conducted throughout the day on February 17 from 9 am to 3 pm. The fee is $55 in advance or $65 at the door, which includes lunch and homemade desserts. Writers looking for a more in-depth experience can join Genaro K Lý Smith for an intensive Writers Retreat and workshop on February 18. Tickets for the Retreat must be bought separately. Room reservations may be made at Hemingbough by calling (225) 635-6617. Tickets can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com or contact missy@conundrumbooks.com for more information.
