On the left, a close-up photo of two copies of Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward, both propped up against a red cushion with a bookshelf visible in the background. The book covers are red and feature bold blue and white text with a gold National Book Award Winner sticker. On the right, a pale blue background with centered dark brown text reads: 'THE EUDORA WELTY HOUSE & GARDEN PRESENTS Welty at Home: A Virtual Book Club Reading of Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward.'

Starting Monday, January 27, we will spend several weeks reading and discussing Jesmyn Ward's 2017 novel, Sing, Unburied, Sing. Discussions will be co-led by Suzanne Marrs, professor emerita at Millsaps College and Welty's friend and biographer, and our guest instructor for this series, Dr. Kemeshia Swanson, professor of English and African American Studies at Mississippi State University. 

If you received emails for previous Welty at Home book clubs, you are already registered for this free event and will begin receiving emails for this series weekly on Fridays starting Friday, January 24.
