Steven Harvey

Steven Harvey (Col ’89) has won the Wandering Aengus Book Award in nonfiction for his fourth collection of personal essays, The Beloved Republic. Pitted against authoritarianism, The Beloved Republic is the peaceful and fragile confederacy of kind, benevolent, and creative people in a world of tyrants, thugs, and loud-mouthed bullies. His book can be read as dispatches from that besieged land. Novelist Scott Russell Sanders called it a “humane and magisterial collection of essays.”
