2008 Governor’s Arts Awards announced

The 2008 Governor’s Arts Awards were announced last week. I’d like to take special note of two literature-related winners:

  • Ralph Cohen and Jim Warren of Staunton. They will receive an award for their work with the American Shakespeare Center which they founded in 1988. They are also the founders of the only graduate program in the country centered on Shakespeare and Renaissance literature in performance, at Mary Baldwin College.
  • SHENANDOAH: The Washington and Lee University Review. One of the country’s premier literary quarterlies since its founding in 1950, Shenandoah has featured Pulitzer winners as well as voices new to the literary scene.

Congratulations!
