One of our goals this year is to build our cello program by recruiting some beginning students. We’ll have some exciting news about weekly group cello lessons to help you get started! So, if you’ve ever thought about taking strings or if you’re thinking of switching from violin to cello, come to the meeting, August 21 for information on discounted first month cello rentals, beginner cello teachers, group lesson times, etc.
And of course, all current and interested violin students and their families are encouraged to come to the parents meeting, too! We’ll have lots of information on the program, upcoming events, and registration. Family memberships are due now, so current families, bring your checkbooks!
I am a poet, translator, and professor of literature and creative writing at Mississippi University for Women, where I direct the Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing, the undergraduate concentration in creative writing, and the Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium. I am Chair of the Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy, and I have published four collections of poetry, Tree Fall with Birdsong, Barrier Island Suite, Time Capsules, and Landscapes and Architectures, as well as a collection of translations of the Belgian poet Paul Snoek, Hercules, Richelieu, and Nostradamus, and the textbook A Writer's Craft: Multi-Genre Creative Writing. I was born and raised in Osage, Iowa, and have lived for over thirty years in Columbus, Mississippi, where my wife Kim and I let wildflowers grow in our yard to the delight of spring polinators and only some of our neighbors.
