Calling all parents of current and prospective Suzuki Strings students! Don’t forget the parents’ meeting on August 21 at 5:30 p.m. in Carrier Lodge! We’ll have lots of new information about plans for the program this year, including cello group lessons, group violins, orchestra, and ensemble. And we’ll have the registration form for the coming year. Prospective family’s, come meet the parents of current students and learn more about the benefits of our program!
To find us, go to the South end of First Street (along the river). Carrier Lodge will be on your right at the very end of the street, where it intersects with 8th Ave. S. You can’t miss our big parking lot. If you live in this neighborhood, it’s where you go to vote.
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.
