The evening event is scheduled for 7:30 at the Theatre on the Park, CSU's RiverPark Campus. These events, made possible through the McCullers Center's membership in the Georgia Poetry Circuit, are free and open to the public.

Thank you, Dr. Schwabe

Many thanks to Dr. Jonathan Clarke Schwabe for his very fine presentation, last evening, on the chamber opera he has composed -- "The Sojourner," inspired by Carson McCullers' short story of the same title.  Dr. Schwabe was kind enough to leave us a bound copy of the score, as well as a CD of a performance of the piece.  Both, in addition to a recording of Dr. Schwabe's presentation, are available for viewing and listening at the McCullers House.

"Sucker" Now Online

Carson McCullers' short story "Sucker," one of the first she wrote and one of the last published, is now available for reading online, at the Saturday Evening Post site.
