By imitating design principles that exist in nature and harvesting the sun’s energy Morrison wants to inspire an interest in sustainability.

Mississippi Writers
2014-02-28 | Jobe Hall, Auditorium
Mississippi Writers’ Panel: Authors Charlaine Harris, Carolyn Haynes, and Dean James
This event is sponsored by Graduate and Continuing Studies.
For additional information regarding this event, contact Beverly Moon at (662) 846-4700.

The Delta State University Graduate and Continuing Studies Department is hosting a lecture series with three Mississippi authors who highlight the South and Mississippi Delta in their writing. Dean James, Charlaine Harris and Carolyn Haines have all found literary success with their mystery and horror tales.
The trio will be on campus Feb. 28 and provide lectures to students at 9 and 10 a.m. in Jobe Hall. From 1-2:30 p.m., they will participate in a panel discussion with three local scholars — Dorothy Shawhan, Susan Allen Ford and Karen Bell.
Later that afternoon, a book signing and reception will be held at the Delta Arts Alliance in downtown Cleveland from 3-5 p.m. In addition, students, faculty and staff will be able to donate blood at the “True Blood” Drive at the H.L. Nowell Union from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
The following day, March 1, Harris will be the guest reader at 3 p.m. on the Thacker Mountain Radio Show at the Delta Music Institute.
The lecture and panel discussion will focus on the use of place in the writers’ fiction, the importance of contemporary fiction as a literary genre, and the joys and challenges of creative writing. These events will explore genre fiction such as mystery, supernatural and horror as intellectual inquiry and as an increasingly valued form of the literary humanities.
Beverly Moon, Delta State University Dean of Graduate and Continuing Studies, said she is thrilled to host these established authors.
“We will have lots of fun with the various events — the student sessions, panel discussions, the readings, reception, book signing, and of course, the “True Blood” Drive,” said Moon.
Harris, a New York Times bestselling author who has been writing for 30 years, was born and raised in the Mississippi River Delta area. She is known for writing mystery and fantasy novels, with her most popular series being “The Sookie Stackhouse Series.” The urban fantasy series is about a telepathic waitress named Sookie who works in a bar in the fictional northern Louisiana town of Bon Temps.
The first book in the series, “Dead Until Dark,” won the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Mystery in 2001. Each book follows Sookie through her adventures involving vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures. The series, which now numbers 11 titles, has been released worldwide.
Sookie Stackhouse has proven to be so popular that Alan Ball, creator of the HBO television series “Six Feet Under,” produced the HBO series based on the books. He wrote and directed the pilot episode for the series “True Blood,” which premiered in September of 2008 and successfully continues in its seventh season.
Professionally, Harris is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, the American Crime Writers League, Sisters in Crime and the International Crime Writers Association. She is a past member of the boards of Sisters in Crime and MWA. She is also a member of Science Fiction Writers of America, Horror Writers Association and Romance Writers of America.
Haines, born in Lucedale, Miss., is a prolific mystery author and former journalist specializing in mysteries set in the Mississippi Delta. Her current mysteries, the “Sarah Booth Delaney Mississippi Delta Series,” is set in the fictional town of Zinnia. The series has won numerous awards, including Best Amateur Sleuth. Her work, “Hallowed Bones,” the fifth in the series, was named in the top five mysteries of 2004 by Library Journal.
Haines teaches graduate and undergraduate fiction writing classes at the University of South Alabama, where she is an assistant professor and fiction coordinator. She was the recipient of the 2010 Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer of the Year, and in 2009 she received the Richard Wright Award for Literary Excellence.
James is the author of over 20 books, both mystery fiction and non-fiction. He is a seventh generation Mississippian having grown up in Grenada County. He is a proud double alumnus of Delta State ’80 and ’81. He also holds a Ph.D. in history from Rice University.
James has published articles on library science, the history of science and medicine and mystery fiction. His first book, which he co-wrote with fellow librarian Jean Swanson, was “By a Woman’s Hand.” In all, he has co-authored or co-edited six works of mystery reference and one short story anthology.
He has won the Agatha and Macavity Awards for his non-fiction and has twice been nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Critical/Biographical work. Formerly the general manager of Murder by the Book in Houston, he is currently a librarian in the Texas Medical Center. Writing as Miranda James, he is the New York Times bestselling author of the “Cat in the Stacks” mysteries, as well as mysteries under his own name and the pseudonyms Jimmie Ruth Evans and Honor Hartman.
In James’s series “The Cat in The Stacks,” the main character is a southern gentleman by the name of Charlie Harris. Charlie is a librarian in the town of Athena, based loosely on Oxford, Miss. In an interview with Deborah Crombie, he said of the fictional town of Athena, “I’ve tried to imbue it with the kind of feeling that I remember from my youth in Mississippi, a small — but not too small — town where longtime residents know one another, where there’s a strong sense of community and a sense of history.”
The upcoming author events in Cleveland are free and open to the public and are supported in part by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council. For more information, contact the Department of Continuing Education at 662-846-4833.

Ashes to Go
2014-03-05 09:45 - 11:15 | H.L. Nowell Student Union, 1st Floor Lobby
Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence. From the Middle Ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross. The reminder that we are dust turns our attention to the creative power of God, and God’s ability to heal the brokeness in our lives when we offer that brokeness to God. That turning to God is the work of Lent, preparation for the celebration of Easter.
We’re offering ashes in the Union today, because the reminder of need, humility, and healing shouldn’t be confined to a church building. The ashes we receive are to remind us throughout the day of our need for God and of God’s call to us.

DMI All Access with Cody Dickinson
2014-03-24 18:00 - 19:00 | DMI Studio A
GRAMMY NOMINEE CODY DICKINSON TO SPEAK AT DMI ALL ACCESS
CLEVELAND – Cody Dickinson, member of the GRAMMY nominated North Mississippi All Stars, will be a guest on Monday, March 24 in Studio A for DMI All Access, a series of informal Q&A sessions featuring music and entertainment industry professionals. The program begins at 6:00 pm and is free and open to the public.
Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson soaked up the music of their father, Memphis legend Jim Dickinson, and absorbed the legacy of blues ancestors R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Otha Turner before forming the North Mississippi All Stars in 1996.
The band’s debut album, Shake Hands With Shorty (2000), earned them a GRAMMY nomination for ‘Best Contemporary Blues Album’. After earning 2 more GRAMMY nominations in the same category for 51 Phantom (2001) and Electric Blue Watermelon (2005), the North Mississippi Allstars earned the reputation as one of the most intriguing acts to emerge from the loam of Southern blues and roots rock.
Meanwhile, Cody broadened the scope of his musical career and became an artistic entrepreneur in the fields of music, film and TV. Cody has contributed to several major motion picture soundtracks, including Barnyard, Snoop’s Hood of Horror and Black Snake Moan. As a producer Cody has worked with a wide range of musicians including Lucero, Cisco Adler, and Les Claypool. He also produced British blues guitarist Ian Siegal’s last 2 albums, The Skinny (2011) and Candystore Kid (2012), both of which were nominated for ‘Best Contemporary Blues Album’ at the annual Blues Music Awards. Despite all his work as a producer, Cody continues to be one of the industry’s premier drummers, demonstrated by his 2013 Blues Music Awards nomination in the ‘Best Instrumentalist/Drums’ category.
Most recently, Luther and Cody have toured extensively with Robert Plant & The Band of Joy, headlined major festivals and toured internationally as a headliner and with Ian Siegal as part of The Mississippi Mudbloods.
Luther and Cody continually expand the tradition of the Mississippi hill country blues that has inspired them from the beginning, but as Rolling Stone aptly notes, “the Allstars may be children of tradition, but they’re digging deep in undiscovered country”.
In 2013 the North Mississippi Allstars released their new career-defining record World Boogie Is Coming. The album marked a return to the band’s blues-infused rock & roll roots and pays homage to hill country legends and songwriters like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. The project fuses all the elements that have made the Allstars special while pushing the band’s sound further into the future than ever before.
The DMI is an independent center under the College of Arts & Sciences at Delta State University. Our mission is to provide our students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, creative, and business areas of the music and entertainment industries. For more information about our program, contact the DMI office at (662) 846-4579 or visit http://dmi.deltastate.edu.
Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All Stars will be a guest for DMI All Access on March 24 at the Delta Music Institute.

2014-04-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Jobe Auditorium
As emancipation unfolded in the wartime Union, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney’s decision in the Dred Scott case of 1857 always lurked in the background. But soon Taney himself became the issue. More than anyone else, the Chief Justice personified the Slave Power and the hold that it had once had over the national government. Taney’s death in 1864 prompted the publication of articles and pamphlets that vilified the Chief Justice, thus offering a glimpse of how northerners at the time thought about the meaning of emancipation and the Civil War.

Exhibition: Lurlynn Franklin: Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness
2014-08-21 08:00 - 16:30 | Wright Art Gallery
The Wright Art Center Gallery at Delta State University opens its new season with an exhibition of Lurlynn Franklin’s work entitled Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness. The exhibition opens on Thursday, August 21 with a public reception from 5:00 to 7:00 pm and a reading of the artist’s poetry at 6:00 pm. Lurlynn Franklin is a Memphis artist, poet, playwright and educator whose work combines visual images, poetry and performance to address current issues. As the artist states: “Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is a collection of story quilts and poetry which are distinctly African-American in content, addressing the thin line drawn between stereotypes and truths. Both the writings and the visuals lend themselves towards social commentary, deliberately falling short in being hardcore political, the work lightly and deceptively skims the surface of personal politics, focusing on the mainstreams of modern “colored” life with humor and sarcasm.” Franklin’s colorful paintings draw on the tradition of African-American story quilts and the collages of noted African-American artists such as Romare Bearden – Franklin in fact refers to her paintings as quilts. In keeping with her inspiration, she incorporates non-traditional materials such as fabric, wall paper and clothing into her paintings. At the same time, her collage technique underlines the message of the images, as Franklin put it: “The quilts, like any funny story told in retrospect at a black family reunion, are exaggerations, coloring life brightly with candy hues, juxtaposed and warmed with sepias and browns, the eclectic materials and pieces of the tale, pulled together in the end, framing the whole of the story.” Like the stories told at family reunions, Franklin considers her work open to reinterpretation and thinks of it as “a work in progress” Like Franklin’s book Fabled Truths, published by Xlibris in late 2013, which combines a series of critical self-portraits with poetic essays, Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness will present her poetry alongside her paintings. For Franklin writing and painting are inextricably linked. She begins each painting by choosing a title and the work evolves from there. As the artist explains, “The creative writings are not narratives of the quilts, but are more like side glances at the colored cartoons they portray, sharpened and lyrical in their language” Franklin holds a MA in art education and a MFA in painting from Memphis College of Art. Her work has been shown nationally, most recently at the Caritas Village Community Collective and Dixon Gallery and Gardens, both in Memphis, TN. She has received numerous awards and recently was recognized by the Tennessee Arts Commission for her work. Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is on view until September 26. The gallery is open Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m -4:30 p.m. For more information, please contact the Art Department at 662-846-4720.
