Katherine Anne Porter Museum NewsThe Katherine Anne Porter Museum in Kyle, Texas, sponsored a celebration on May 15, 1997, Miss Porter's 107th birthday. The featured speaker was Don Graham, the J. Frank Dobie Regents' Professor of American and English Literature at the University of Texas at Austin. Anne Fears Crawford's feature article on the museum, "Museum Honors Texas Writer," appeared in the June 8, 1997, issue of Texas, the Sunday magazine of the Houston Chronicle. This year's Katherine Anne Porter Literary Festival, organized by David and Yana Bland, the owners and operators of the museum, will be held on Saturday, December 13. Mark Busby and Linda Bingham, two of last year's winners, will serve as judges. Winners in the various categories will be awarded certificates, books, and cash prizes. Live music and snacks will follow the presentations. Some members of the board of the museum are attempting to establish a Katherine Anne Porter academy or charter school for students fourteen to eighteen years of age who do not fit into the school system and have a literary bent. |
