Postponed until Nov. 20 - GCSU Creative Writing Program Visiting Writers Series: GCSU English alumnus novelist Stephen Hundley joins MFA alumna and journalist and essayist Denechia Powell-Ingabire

Visiting Writers and Georgia College & State University alumni Stephen Hundley joins Denechia "Neesha" Powell-Ingabire to present on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Pat Peterson Museum Education Room. 

Stephen Hundley, '13, is the author of "The Aliens Will Come to Georgia First" (University of North Georgia Press, 2023) and "Bomb Island" (Hub City Press, 2024). His stories and poems have appeared in Prairie Schooner, Cream City Review, The Greensboro Review and elsewhere. Hundley serves as a fiction editor for Driftwood Press and book reviews editor for The Southeast Review. 

He holds an M.A. from Clemson University, MFA from the University of Mississippi and is completing a Ph.D. in English at Florida State University, where he is writing a book about the feral horses of Cumberland Island.

Denechia "Neesha" Powell-Ingabire, '22, is a coastal Georgia-born-and-raised movement journalist, essayist and community and cultural organizer living in Atlanta/occupied Muscogee territory. She reports on the justice movements of the Black, queer and trans communities to which she belongs and writes essays to recover her own history and the histories of her ancestors and their ancestral homes.

Powell-Ingabire's writings have been published in various online and print publications, including Harper’s Bazaar, the Oxford American, Scalawag and VICE. She recently graduated with a MFA in creative writing from Georgia College. Her forthcoming debut book, "Come By Here: A Memoir in Essays from Georgia’s Geechee Coast" (Hub City Press, out on Sept. 24, 2024), chips away at coastal Georgia’s facade of beaches and golden marshes to recover undertold Black history alongside personal and family stories. The book traces a genealogy of systemic racial violence while paying homage to the area’s long history of Black resistance and culture keeping.
