Carl Sandburg Writer-in-Residence 2012
by Glenis Redmond
We are proud to announce The Carl Sandburg Writer-in-Residence for 2012 is poet Alice Fogel . Continue reading...
Alice Fogel's third book of poems, Be That Empty (Harbor Mountain Press), was a national poetry bestseller in 2008, and in 2009 Strange Terrain (a guide for non-poet readers and teachers, as well as for poets) came out. A recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and five-time Pushcart nominee, her poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Best American Poetry, former Poet Laureate Robert Hass’s Poet’s Choice, TriQuarterly, Third Coast, Crazyhorse, Hotel Amerika, and the Southern Review. A freelance proof reader and copy editor, she teaches writing for all ages and levels, and, with a passion for hiking and interests in many of the arts, she is also an award-winning designer and creator of custom clothing, particularly from “upcycled” materials (www.lyriccouture.com).
Mark your calendars to meet her on March 16 at the welcome reception to be held at the Chamber of Commerce from 5-7 in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
