From Dale Rigby via the Creativewriting listserv:
Per a welcome back, I want to share the good news that two WKU undergraduate poets have
work that will be appearing in the next edition of GRAB-A-NICKEL:
Corey Bewley, “The Smell of Mothballs” & “Classical Music”
Sarah Durr, “What You Will See”
Also from Dale,
The following writing students have had one or more works accepted for
presentation at the the
International Sigma Tau Delta Convention this spring.
1. Ed Rogers–”Frequency”–a collection of poems.
2. Renee Davidson–”After Great Pain” (drama) and “Rearranging Beauty”
(creative non-fiction)
3. Bobby Deignan–”After Charlie” (fiction) and “Hawthorne’s ‘The Celestial Railroad’: (critical essay)
4. Brooke Shafar–”Spring Cleaning” (fiction)
Like with the pic of Yao Ming on the cover of the current Newsweek, you could say that we are fast becoming a university with, yep, just as our PR folks remind us, “international reach”!
All painful puns the responsibility of Rigby and not the management.
If you haven’t already, you should check out the new zine in town, Rise Over Run.
They have a Facebook presence.
and a MySpace page, and blogs, too
Give a look and contribute.
From The Nation’s website, an announcement of an opportunity to share your opinion (and win $$$). After all, the school year will be over soon, so you’ll be looking for new audiences for your writing….
We’re looking for original, thoughtful, provocative student voices to tell us what is the most important issue for young people in the 2008 presidential campaign. Essays should not exceed 800 words and should be original, unpublished work that demonstrates fresh, clear thinking and superior quality of expression and craftsmanship. We’ll select five finalists and one winner, who will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize and a Nation subscription. The winning essay will be published in the magazine and featured on our website. The five finalists will be awarded $200 each and subscriptions, and their entries will be published online. Entries (only one per student) will be accepted through May 31. A winner will be announced by September 4. Please send entries to studentprize@thenation.com.
For more information, see the full announcement.
