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!
