students from last time

Two student writers from last fall's version of this class are included in the current issue of Stonework, a journal from Houghton College. Steve Slagg's Why I am not a Theologian and Rachel Alsdorf's In the Byzantine Chapel Fresco Museum show the variety, craft, and intelligence of the young poets from that class. Congratulations, Steve and Rachel.

P. S. Check out colleague Brett Foster's three pieces as well (one link seems to be broken).

Wheaton Writing and Lit Fest

I'm taking part the next two days in Wheaton College's Writing and Literature Festival. The line-up includes Pulitzer Prize winning poet Carl Dennis along with Robert Siegel, Susanna Childress, Jill Peláez Baumgaertner, Brett Foster, and Mary Brown from Indiana Wesleyan University.

I'll be riffing on "Poetry and Song" at 2:00 p.m. today, singing a hymn or two, reading one or two older poems, and then finishing up with my odd, poetic Bach obsession. Hope to see some of you there.
