I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be returning as a faculty member for next summer’s Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing and registration has OPENED! There are two 1-week sessions available (I’m teaching during the first week). Do something nice for yourself, and register to join us on the Vineyard next summer for a writing extravaganza!
I’m delighted to announce that I’m teaching History of the Prose Poem: from the 1800s to the Present for The Downtown Writers Center. This inexpensive, 8-week Zoom-based class is open to anyone anywhere (you do not have to be a member of the YMCA to take this class).
We’ll read prose poetry, from its establishment in 1842, through Modernism, the surreal 70s, up to today. This online class features audio and video for a fun session each week, including handouts for further reading and exploration. Intended for both writers and readers who love poetry and wish to gain a deeper experience of this form. No prior knowledge required.
Friends! Announcing my late fall poetry workshop: “In the Landscape of Contemporary Poetry.” Warm up your end-of-year writing with my popular 6-week combination generative, craft, and workshop class via Zoom, with entirely new readings, prompts, and craft talks every time I teach it. Registration is now open. And it closes November 13. Class begins Wednesday November 15. Join us!

Registration has just opened for this summer’s virtual Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing June 6-13! It’s gonna be a blast! I’m teaching there along with a bunch of other awesome writers. Come join us! 😀
As of May 31, 2013 I have officially graduated with my MFA in poetry from Indiana University! I’m proud, thrilled, and exhausted.
I had a wonderful time at IU and am especially thankful to have been able to study with such excellent teachers as Cathy Bowman (who directed my MFA thesis), Maurice Manning, Maura Stanton, Richard Cecil, Ross Gay, Alyce Miller, and Samrat Upadhyay. In addition to these teachers, I learned more than I can calculate from my amazing fellow students in the program, and from the many students in the classes I taught. It was a wild ride and a great time. Thanks everyone!
