A love of literature and a deep belief in the “flesh and blood and heart” of human beings led Donald Windham to establish the Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prizes at Yale University. This year, the prize has been awarded to eight writers in four genres. The Windham-Campbell Festival, held this year Sept. 13–15, will host the winners in a series of panels, workshops and lectures.

Exciting new content will be posted all summer on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and Instagram, so stay tuned!
