Writer’s Symposium by the Sea 2017 at Point Loma

Now in its 22nd year, the Writer’s Symposium by the Sea at Point Loma Nazarene University is focusing on “Writing that Resonates” this year with featured authors Robert Pinsky, Shauna Niequist and Tracy Kidder. The written word won’t be the only attraction, however, as Poet Laureate Pinsky will be doing a poetry and jazz event with members of the PLNU Jazz Combo. All three authors will also be offering a behind-the-scenes look at their work in Q&A sessions hosted by symposium founder Dean Nelson. The series begins Tuesday, Feb. 21 with Pinsky, and goes through Thursday, Feb. 23, when it wraps with Pulitzer winner Kidder. All events begin at 7 p.m. in the Crill Performance Hall at PLNU (3900 Lomaland Dr.). Tickets are $5 for PLNU students and $10 for everybody else. pointloma.edu/writers
