In Celebration of Writers
Poets & Writers’ 2021 Gala was held online on Thursday, March 25. Gala Chair Don Weisberg, CEO of Macmillan Publishers, was joined by Leadership Award recipient Oprah Winfrey and guests Joy Harjo, Cheryl Strayed, Isabel Wilkeson, and the Cornelius Eady Trio. We also heard from dozens of authors including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Margaret Atwood, Judy Blume, Adam Haslett, Marlon James, Rebecca Makkai, Arthur Sze, and Charles Yu. You can view a recording of this inspiring event below.
