Today’s post, the final one of the month, features our “local” authors – English alumna, current students, faculty, and/or staff. This list is by no means complete, and even for those included we have not given a full account of their work, just a sampling.
Recent Publications
Joanna Doxey (Alumna, MFA Creative Writing: Poetry; Currently an Academic Support Coordinator for students majoring in Ethnic Studies, Philosophy, and English): Plainspeak, WY – “Residing in the brutally harsh winters of the Wyoming landscape, Plainspeak, WY is a rumination on self as wilderness. A book of juxtapositions, Doxey leans on the glacial with its inherited dirges and ostensible timelessness, contrasting stoic rock with lamenting body. Ultimately, it is a book of recollection, of broken hearts and slowly changing landscapes.” Most recently, a few of her poems were published in the latest issue of Ghost Proposal (http://ghostproposal.com/).
