Theme of the Gallup Literary Festival:
To highlight Gallup's diverse literary talent and how the area, people, and history serves as inspiration for its authors.. Many past and present Gallup residents have had books published in the realms of children, true crime, sports, religion, fiction, music, art, photography, and military history, to name a few. We will also highlight poets, songwriters, publishers, newspaper and radio journalists, composers, film makers, and more! Here are some of the writers who were introduced at the Festival in 2005:
T.S. Eliot narrates his own "Ash Wednesday" at the GPAC gallery (on CD) to accompany the art created for this purpose by Mary Boyd Ellis. Also, enjoy the orchestral setting of the poem by Dr. Roy E. Howard. Saturday at GPAC Gallery.
Pete Covitz performs original songs at 1 pm on Saturday!
