Reminder: Group Violins 1 meet today at the Rozensweig Arts Center, 5th and Main in Columbus at our usual time: 4:30-5:15.
We are in the process of moving out of Carrier Lodge and over to the Columbus Arts Council building for lessons, group lessons, orchestra, etc. Assuming all goes well, we will be fully moved out of Carrier in another month or so. Though we are grateful to MUW for the space they provided for many years, it was time for this move.
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.
