job for a newly-minted MFA is at a community college. But how does one teach
five classes per term (more if an adjunct), serve on committees, engage in
scholarship, and find time to write and publish a book of poems, a novel, or a
memoir? This panel of Midwestern community college faculty will discuss how
they negotiate a life of writing while adhering to academic
responsibilities
and reflect on how they were able to write and publish their recent books amid
the chaos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in a public university, a community college AFA, an arts nonprofit, and in
private BFA and MFA low-residency programs—offer a candid and guided tour of
the online creative writing classroom. Stops on the circuit: cleaning out the
correspondence course feel; using technology for web-based fine arts studios
and readers’ salons; maintaining trust, establishing community, setting
boundaries; and nourishing creativity and improvisation. Ample audience
engagement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I had a wonderful fall. I was honored to participate in two community-driven poetry projects--100K Poets for Change and the <i>St. Paul Almanac</i>. In addition, I was the featured poet in the Two Rivers Reading Series, had a poem included in the </span>photography/writing anthology <i>Intimate Landscapes </i>and art exhibit, and got to hang out at the Holy Cow! table at the Twin Cities Book Festival. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This winter I am looking forward to several readings in the Twin Cities as well as the annual AWP conference in Boston, where I will present on two panels and participate in an experimental reading at an Irish Pub!</span><br />
