Jesmyn Ward: Sing, Unburied, Sing Paperback with Morgan Jerkins

Books Are Magic presents a special evening with two-time National Book Award-winning author Jesmyn Ward as she celebrates the release of her novel Sing, Unburied, Sing in conversation with Morgan Jerkins.

Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing won the 2017 National Book Award, and was also a finalist for the Kirkus Prize and Andrew Carnegie Medal, and a New York Times bestseller.

Each ticket includes 1 paperback copy of Sing, Unburied, Sing.

This majestic, stirring, and widely praised novel from two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward, the story of a family on a journey through rural Mississippi, is a tour de force (O, the Oprah Magazine) and a timeless work of fiction that is destined to become a classic.

Jesmyn Ward’s historic second National Book Award-winner is perfectly poised for the moment (The New York Times), an intimate portrait of three generations of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. Wards writing throbs with life, grief, and love this book is the kind that makes you ache to return to it (Buzzfeed).

Jesmyn Ward received her MFA from the University of Michigan and has received the MacArthur Genius Grant, a Stegner Fellowship, a John and Renee Grisham Writers Residency, and the Strauss Living Prize. She is the winner of two National Book Awards for Fiction for Sing, Unburied, Sing (2017) and Salvage the Bones (2011). She is also the author of the novel Where the Line Bleeds and the memoir Men We Reaped, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize and the Media for a Just Society Award. She is currently an associate professor of creative writing at Tulane University and lives in Mississippi.
